You're right, it does a lot of awesome things. But since this wasn't a thread about the awesome things it does, I only focused on things that were relevant to this thread.

3) AFAIK, enhancement suggestions of Calibre are welcomed and very often implemented. That's the way that Calibre has evolved. One month ago, Calibre supported conversions to only 2 formats (epub and lrf). Now it offers conversion to 11 formats!!

The conversions are great. That's one of the awesome things mentioned above. But again I don't think it's really relevant to this thread, which is about the directory structure.

4) I still cannot understand the insistence of complains about Calibre directory structure that the author of this free program is unwilling or considers worthless/useless to modify. He might be right or wrong, but he's free to do what he wants with his program and we're free not to use it.

He's definitely free to do what he wants with his program. But people are also free to voice their opinions on how they disagree. On the previous page he asked for a use case on why keeping one's directory structure is better than converting to the calibre directory structure. I proposed two such use cases. I don't see how that qualifies as "insistency on complaining", I was merely answering the author's question.
It's obvious this is a highly desired feature. If there is an actual reason about why it is *bad* I'd love to hear it. My understanding is that it was because under the old format it was possible for the database to get corrupted and you'd lose everything, rather than just one book. My answer to that was to use an sqlite database. Everybody is happy under this scheme. I just don't see how "everyone is happy" is anything but superior to "only some people are happy".
