Yes, it could. There is hardly anything impossible in programing.
And that's how we get massive pieces of crap software like emacs and itunes. Sure, technically nothing is impossible. That doesn't mean it's possible to do it well.

Why stop at a turning Calibre into a file manager? Why not add version control? Email? Web browsing? Book store interfaces? Social networking? There are a lot of things that could be added to Calibre, but that doesn't mean they're right for what Calibre is.

Though now that I think about it, integrating a version control system in calibre would be kinda nice, though with books mostly being in binary formats it's really not all that useful.
