Matt K. A nice read about Apple's new file organizational paradigm... I'm still skeptical, haha ;)

Marcel Bender The new file system Apple introduces with Mountain Lion.
Trying to picture notional systems with several levels is like thinking three moves ahead in chess. Everybody believes that they can, but only a few skilled people really can do it. If you doubt this, prove me wrong by telling me what is in each file menu in your browser…

Florian Rogner I actually really enjoy organizing my files but what Oliver says in this – Essay - seems to be quite right. One problem: Moving Documents between applications. iCloud isn't there yet…

oneblackcrayon A great read on the future of files & folder structure for Mac OS X.
Folders-in-folders are hard to deal with. Just as physical folders-in-folders are prone to creating a mess, digital folders-in-folders represent a steep mental hurdle for most of us. Most people don’t want to bother with folder structures. They get confused when they’re forced to deal with settings in a text editing application. People expect things to just work.

Florian Eckerstorfer Oliver Reichenstein on why classical file systems don't work and why the new document model in OS X Mountain Lion is great.
It’s a radical change from the nearly 30-year-old file-system-centric approach to data management on the Mac.
Use Mountain Lion and its built-in apps like TextEdit and Preview for a few hours and it is very clear that this is how Apple wants users to deal with documents and app content. It’s a radical change from the nearly 30-year-old file-system-centric approach to data management on the Mac.
I was quite skeptical at first. Not about anything specific, just skeptical in a general, dickish way

Paul Heger yeah cool, for some guy who works alone. but we handle clients and different projects and than there are versions of it in folders and so on. folders in folders in folders... is necessary. i think his way is too simple. Imagen in a huge folder you make some divide to keep it from messy.
i think apple is moving to a consumer-friendly direction and i don't like it. :/
Christoph Boecken you've read the update, right?
