Speaking as a software developer philosophical complaints are not very motivating, use cases are.

So far the only concrete limitation of the calibre folder structure I know of is that it can get slow on windows because windows does not like large numbers of nodes in a single directory.
Didn't somebody describe that they wanted to have their own directory structure and being able to edit books using other tools than Calibre? As I understand this is problematic since Calibre creates cop of the books. But maybe I have misunderstood something?
