It's a shame to bury the problem, go for the "deal with it" attitude, instead of trying to fix things.
While I agree it is totally up to the developers what file system they use, I also think you are right about the way that people seem to pounce on those who would have it otherwise.

I have no problem with the file structure, and in fact find it less annoying than the Windows way of doing things. Still every time I see someone typing don't look under the skirts or think of it like a black box, I think gag me with a spoon
And the thread you point to starts off pretty rude really when you think of it. Not meant that way I am sure, but you are right to feel a bit miffed by it's stern grandfatherly tone.

I wish you luck with your project and would be interested in looking at it when you are at a stage that you are thinking of distributing it, but I think calibre is a hard program to beat. Sure it could be better, just like most things, but IMO it is pretty darn good as is.
