While I agree with your point, I think you chose a poor example. In the last 10 years, URIs have changed to no longer refer to a path on the filesystem (yes yes, there are still a ton of old sites that do). A lot of new web frameworks start by regexing the daylights out of your URI and then running a function based on the match.
- Millennium 13y agoWhat you say is true as far as it goes, but only from the behind-the-scenes perspective of a programmer. From a user's perspective, not only does using these services feel like a filesystem, but according to current best practices, that's explicitly what's supposed to happen. The filesystem itself has become an important interface paradigm, and that's going to keep it alive.
