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.
Just browsing the file into the OS file browser is not effective, because it lacks the "book management" function. Book management alone isn't effective either. One don't work without the other.
A good software is a software that will do both.
Or, at the very least, let the files be, so an other software can do the file management part.
Spotify manage my music without altering the file. That don't lessen it's ability in music management.
