This Rightnote video makes a good point about why a hierarchical tree is still preferable to a hierarchical tag structure: because you can organise the hierarchical tree freely, as you like it, and items stay in the same place, as opposed to an alphabetically organised tag tree, where item locations change every time you add a new tag (unless there are apps where tags can be organised freely and work exactly like hierarchical folders).
