That would be absolute evil.    Having a couple of data bases at work that I have to work with I can easily say that nobody constantly uses keywords.   Further database searches for keywords are far more difficult that browsing a directory structure.

Thing is, one has to come up with a filename anyway, which basically is a set of keywords. And other metadata could automatically be derived from the object to be stored itself (like location data is extracted from digital photos).

I admit that it will take some getting used to especially for people that are accustomed to the now common hierarchical system. And even this could be emulated with a metadata/keyword based system.

I was hoping that Apple would be courageous and revolutionize the way we deal with "files" and ditch the old paradigms of files and folders in favor of a keyword-based system.
