many people remember where they put things, but not what they called them. Really?? I'm just the opposite. I remember what I call things, but forget where I put them. find or locate help me out. I like files and directories as a way to organize things.

Shuttleworth: Unity shell will be default desktop in Ubuntu 11.04 (ars technica) Posted Oct 26, 2010 2:03 UTC (Tue) by brouhaha (subscriber, #1698) [Link] Different people think in different ways. The system shouldn't force them to think one way or the other. For people that work most effectively with folders, that interface should be supported. For people that deal most effectively with search, that should be supported too. Some people will benefit from having both available.The kind of thinking that "folders are bad, search way better, so we're going to do away with folders and use search instead" should be studiously avoided.

The system shouldn't force them to think one way or the other. We are in violent agreement on this point. That's why I get irritated when developers try to engage in social engineering and force the One True Way of doing things on their users.

If you don't have control over the name- either because it's automatically named by whatever creates it or because you're collaborating with somebody else and they named it- then it can be hard.

True, which is why at work we use a revision-control system to collaborate on documents and we enforce naming guidelines. Yes, I successfully have non-technical people trained to use Subversion rather than mailing around things like "Press Release Foo - Revision 2 (DFS-Rev-1)" I'd love to have them on git, but Subversion was a steep-enough learning curve. :)
