...but overlook the fact that this is what is used by Windows and OSX (ie. >96% of desktops worldwide).
The biggest and most common misconception I hear people state is "They don't need to know"...

Without commenting on whether they should know, I will posit that the vast majority of those 96% of users don't know. What they do know are the shortcuts and links presented to them on the desktop and in the file selector, and how to click next, next, next, accepting the default folder in InstallShield.
Bring up Explorer. Put them in the root of C:. Tell them to navigate to their pictures. And watch them flounder. Without the usual smoke and mirrors they are helpless.
They'd have a better chance on Linux, where what is usually called "Sally's Home" on the desktop is in /home/sally.

"I just think it's really delusional to think that any random user cares where things (outside of his/her documents) go."
Well I care where my stuff is, as do most of the rest of the semi proficient users I know.
You act like Gobo's file system model caters to some small niche of people but overlook the fact that this is what is used by Windows and OSX (ie. >96% of desktops worldwide).

Many users may be dolts, but those dolts also likely have a clearer picture of the market than you.
