I agree that the filesystem layout is consistent and logical, but it's still
confusing, because it isn't self-documenting. I'm tired of looking at a file
and not knowing what it is. "var" and "usr" don't even look like English
words to me. So I suppose my real gripe is less with the organization of
files as with the names of files. IMO all file names should be in my
language.
