I tried out Gobo linux a while ago. It's whole idea is to ditch databases - because directories were supposed to be the database. Makes perfect sense to me.

But everyone in a while, I can put up with a little bit of apple-like secrecy, and "just let things work..."
Huh? Do you even understand what you are saying? "Apple like secrecy", "proprietary directory structures"? What secrecy? Any directory structure is "proprietary", because some one has to specify what that structure is. If you think that storing books in your own directory structure is less proprietary you dont understand the meaning of the word proprietary.

And please point out to me one single use case for which storing books in your own directory structure is better.
