Exactly. I think (well, I hope) in the future we will see a well-done database fileystem in the desktop space which throws away the concept of files hierarchies and store all metadata in single database, (eg stuff like tags, types of data, applications used, etc). With SSDs becoming cheaper and cheaper, you could throw all the metadata on an SSD and likely have pretty good performance as well.
