Yes, that's what i meant. Basically removing the need to ever bother newbee 
users with the existance of hidden files at all. To them there'd be a folder 
in which people can do magic to a program, if they dare and that's it.

I believe Nautilus links VFS, doesn't it?

Well, there's certainly more what can be useful to a newbie user. It's a pity 
that PR1 won't even launch for me, otherwise I could tell you more.
