I personally find looking in my directory structure easier, as that is not flat but has levels. And I also like to differentiate between the various sources where I got my books (so, the MR books are in a folder MR, the fictionwise books in a folder fictionwise, etc).
But, Calibre is more than just a library. It also has some excellent tools I do use to convert my books. And I know how hard it is to create a piece of software that does everything you want, let alone everything that everybody wants...
