I've run into this on other fourms in MobileRead. People will complain that they didn't like calibre basically because they don't understand the multidimensional organization advantages of tags over a folder and file tree. They just don't get it when I try to explain why tag organization is superior to folder and file and come back saying how their system, using Windows system works so much better for them. It's really hard to let go of what one has used for a long time. I'll admit to being guilty of that. In fact, I still hang onto my original files just in case I decide to leave calibre (not likely but I like to keep my options open) since the file names contain the minimal metadata I need to file a book (author, title, series title, series number, ISBN #) without having to open the file and dig the data out. It's pure paranoia but, since I know enough to leave calibre's folder alone and I have plenty of disk space, it's a harmless paranoia that keeps this old broad happy.
