Regarding Documents removal

[Pierre-Yves Luyten <py luyten fr>]

Hello,

To me Documents "failed" (i hope the word not to be rude ) because it 
came early in a long term adventure : we users do not want to deal with 
files. We would deal with music, photos, contacts, mails, disks, backup, 
but not files, which are boring.

If user still need to know where files are, Documents becomes useless. 
But offering the user the same level of features as of today, without 
exposing files, is difficult. Phones more or less suceed in this. But 
even phones have file managers - dozens on stores.

I tried Documents several times but indeed quickly ended up in Nautilus. 
On the other hand GNOME already has brillant apps like "Disks" or backup 
apps. The trend will certainly lead to ignore where files stand.

Maybe it's not interesting, too early, or will never be interesting, but 
too early is my bet. I just wanted to share this despite it is probably 
obvious to everyone =)

Regards
Pierre-Yves
