Bizarrely enough, I prefer to have all my books in one location instead of in various user chosen locations. I can find them all easily and backup them all easily with or without calibre. I can also see why someone chooses to keep another copy elsewhere.
Calibre's method of file storage is actually pretty space efficient and you can find anything easily.

While it is possible that there are those that know better, I am pretty sure they are out there developing and marketing their own amazing software and not wasting time trying to
make someone else do it their way.
