Exactly how the default application organizes them, whether they are documents, source code, built artifacts or whatever. I have more to do in life than agonize over that.
In fact, where you hang your ornaments (files) on the ceremonial file Christmas tree (file/directory/parent directory tree) is the least interesting part about files.
I'd far, far rather have a rich set of attributes and a way to create relations over them. "All the files I printed by date", "emails I received from so-and-so", "attachments by destination" and so on. Real relationships I actually care about.

This is one of my hot buttons, can you tell?
