I am one of those users.
I consider myself to be a geek.
I can't be bothered with collections.
I would, however, welcome any kind of hierarchical structure for files and (folders/directories/collections/groups/whatever-you-want-to-call-them) IF it would not force me to use the CONNECT software.

THAT would be something.
We could reverse-engineer xml file the READER uses to create collections very easily and then we could use Collections without need to use "The Worst Software For Managing Content I Have Seen In A Loooooong Time" (Connect ;-) )
We could even use it on ANY operating system that allows us to mount an USB card reader. Like, for example, Windows 2003, or Windows 2000, or Windows 98, or Ubuntu or FreeBSD or [insert the name of your favourite geeky OS here]
What I would suggest to SONY is:
1. Make interface for READER for moving / copying / deleting files from card to memory and from memory to card
2. Make interface for READER that would allow us to manage collections (using joystick, enter, and 10 numbered buttons)
3. Hide those functions somewhere deep in the menus (behind an "Geeks ONLY!!!" "or Authorized Technicians Only" option) so you do not confuse / scare / intimidate our mothers in law, grandmothers or Pointy Haired Boses
