Do you mean /dev where block devices go, not filesystems? Or /mnt where by convention users manually mount their block devices to manually chosen, user-specific meaningful names?
Me, I was referring to the standards-based /media/{label}
Regardless, GUI users have no beef in the matter -- they use the file browser bookmarks on the side.
On Windows, Linux
and OSX.
