I'm basically in agreement with the spirit of the original poster. So my answer to your question ought to have some relevance, even if it isn't the same as his/hers.
I don't find Calibre good enough to make it the sole tool for managing my eBooks. And as a result, I want the file storage scheme to remain 100% under my control.
The author/book scheme might be intuitive for most books, but not all. Most Star Trek books I have are written by miscellaneous authors who are basically nobodies (as far as I am concerned) and whose names I'll never learn or remember. Such books should not be under the author's name, but under "Star Trek". Similarly, my reference books, my larger history texts, et cetera are almost certainly not best stored by the author... particularly since many do not even have just one author.
So... anyways. That's why I care.
I've used Calibre before for this and that... even via its GUI... but never with any intention to keep the Calibre date/book folder around for any length of time after I was done copying stuff over to either my proper storage area of my eBook reading device.
