No flamebait of course, only questions...

Yes, but as I wrote :
"The point I want to make is that putting 10,000 files in a single folder is
pointless (unless the content of this folder is read/written by an app only)."

Again, I see the need for apps like DBAs to store thousands of files in a
single directory, as long as data needs to be retrieved ONLY by the app
(furthermore, I don't see why using sub-directories would slow down
the retrieve/process/save data in a significant way).
And if the amount of data is that huge, there must be various high-level scripts
& front-ends to help manage all those files...
That's why I still don't understand why individuals should have to struggle
with windows displaying thousands of files...

May be just another example of "programmer lazyness" ?

Again, no flame war... just asking...
