A tip for those having a hard time transitioning over from a hierarchical organization system:
Create a custom field that stores whatever hierarchy you want. Set it up as a hierarchical field, and use periods as your folder separators. Create a Save-to-Disk template that converts these periods into slashes so that you can export your library into exactly the folder structure you want if you ever decide to stop using Calibre. (Yes, this works, despite what the documentation says)
Now you can use the tag browser just like the Folders pane of Windows Explorer. Voila! Calibre is now Windows Explorer on steroids.
Before you start bringing up all the reasons why this still doesn't do what you want, play around with Calibre for a month. If you still don't like it, uninstall it. No harm done. But I think you'll find the pros far outweigh the cons.
You're welcome.
