Pretty much my experience as well. A decade back, when I had ~500 ebooks, I had a very carefully constructed directory structure to allow me to manage and locate my books. I ran into mentions of calibre and thought what the heck, I'll give it a try. As my library grew, calibre gave me better control over my library and the plugins were a joy. As time went by, I spent a lot less time trying to micromanage my library's directory structure and eventually removed my original library directory.
