For anyone not caring about keeping their own file-structure, it's great.
I work with folks whose PCs have copies of copies of copies of everything and are in a continuous state of panic because they cannot find ANYTHING - so they make more copies of copies and the problems get WORSE.
In short, their structuring does not exist and their storage looks like one big trash can.
I am a freak, I try to keep things a bit organized and when it is in my HDD it can easily be found - my problem is when I put stuff on a disc like I did with my saved f/w; it is in a 'safe' place in my house...too safe, I guess.
As to Calibre's tools and maybe for someone to make use of them, I see what I wrote may have been a trifle badly worded, so here, I've fixed it:

I seriously hope someone will make (or has already made...?) an alternative GUI specifically for Calibre's command-line tools, then I would use them alot more.
But as things stand, having to re-visit DOS-land to convert a MOBI to EPUB is not my preferred way of doing things at all.

As to the notion of using Calibre's horribly messy, forced file structuring which makes copies of copies; on a day when I have excessive patience I'll let it process my files for some purpose I need right then - and clean up it's mess via simple isolation and deletion.
BUT:
No program, no matter how unique is welcome or allowed to boss me around at all.
That is what the main Calibre program tries to do, and IMO that is NOT cool.
The rest of it is a grand & wonderful idea.
Too bad it has no real competition...
