Because calling a fundamental abstract concept which millions of people have found useful an implementation detail is not useful to the discussion in any way, shape or form. You can discuss its disadvantages but you cannot just dismiss it as an implementation detail.

I probably assume too much about others' motivations, but I think this casual dismissal is the reason for so negative a reaction.

I just think the idea that items need to be in boxes in boxes in boxes is really fundamental -- that's something tags can do as well, just as easily.

I mean, when you get down to it, what's the difference? I need to navigate to /home/boud/doc/rpg/current_campaigns/ysella_and_moyri/2nd_year/ to save a file called 03.txt because it's the 3rd write-up of the campaign where the players are using the Moyri and Ysella character sheets in our regular role-playing game which is something I write, not something I code (code goes in /home/boud/src -- with a similar hierarchy -- no wait, code I write goes into /home/boud/prj, src is for the source of other projects.)

That's just the same thing as tagging, when you get down to it.
