Besides, I don't know of any piece of software that does not have at least one really annoying feature.
Hee, it's not that I'm actually converted, just that circumstances have conspired to thrust me into working at a library. I've been learning a lot about metadata and classification etc. and can now see the reasoning behind some of the decisions made in writing this program.

That doesn't mean I'm 100% on board. I still hate the duplication. Saying "buy more hard disk space" is all nice and good, but you can't presume that is as easy and as cheap in all parts of the world; I had to save for months on end to buy my computer, and still had to pay for it in installments because my expenses are just too big. Also, I'm used to my folder structure, and it's never easy changing year long habits.
