The ability for users to use their own pre-existing, personalized directory structures and filenames (without duplication upon import to library management software) is one that some people seem to find very important. Have for quite a while. I don't share that need (and have no idea how big of a demographic they represent), but the desire for that ability is real nonetheless. And for better or worse, it IS quite clear that calibre is probably not going to move in that direction. That's not a judgement, that's an observation.
So I see no reason not to be happy for those people that someone may have taken up their cause and created a library management system that satisfies their needs -- regardless if it continues to use calibre for the (optional) non-library management features that already seem to work perfectly well for them, should they want to use them.
