I think everyone here understands what you want. Most people here wanted (or at least expected) the same thing, at first, because using folders is how we'd been handling our ebooks and other files for years. In the end, however, most of us have come to realize the problem isn't in Calibre.
If you use Calibre, you can't control the folder names or the file names in your folders. You can "just browse" your folders, but you can't control folder/file names and Calibre will change them as needed to match the changes you make to the metadata for that book.
If you can't live with that, then you can't use Calibre, as it's not likely to change (unless you do it yourself).
I really do understand your frustration. Initially I found Calibre's design very jarring to my expectations, but it didn't take long to realize that it really is a better way to manage e-books. I urge you to try it, and perhaps you'll eventually be converted, too. If not, I hope you find software that will work for you.
