Info Select UI vs. The Window Tree

The one thing about Info Select which makes sense to my mind (sic,) is the appearance of folders and notes in the selector pain: namely, that they are not connected in the conventional and nearly universal Windows Explorer tree system.  Rather, they “appear” unconnected, just so many topics and notes floating around, to be dragged or otherwise manipulated as need be.  Don’t ask me why, but the connection lines of the tree system make me squirm.  Sure, it’s all the same underneath, but software of the types we talk about here are all about how it “strikes” us, and the differences are in some cases pretty small.

Does anyone else here have any thoughts on this?

Thanks
