IMO that would be very bad not to use directories because it's available=20
(almost) everywhere. And can be used to extend names at no cost instead=20
of having all files in the root. That's quickly unreadable... Also I=20
don't see the point of not using spaces. All modern OS support it, and=20
the others have workarounds. On DOS having no space will not prevent you=20
from having to use 8.3 names to have something readable. IMO that's a=20
legacy that can be left out.
