@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Oh my goodness. I don't even know where to start. So much wrong in so few paragraphs. lol.
You think files should download over ftp with filezilla and every protocol should have its own handler and we should use them all. C'mon, man. Think who uses webbrowsers. It's mainly not techies. Hell, even most techies would hate that. It's awesome that browsers have become a useful multitool that abstracts all that away from us!
And don't come with FILES should use FILE Transfer Protocol. Text files (html) are files, too. In fact, you know the old saying, on *nix, everything is a file.
The Downloads folder is NOT for exes and zips. It's for everything. When you DOWNLOAD something from the internet, it goes to DOWNLOADS (imagine that!). You are then free to leave it there (like most of us do and have Downloads folders that are total chaos) or to move it somewhere else you want to better organize it.
Old school and nostalgia aren't an excuse or a justification for wanting things to not change. You think corporations have decided that people don't need to know how file systems or RAM or processors work?!? What the hell? PEOPLE NEVER KNEW. A few geeks did. Computers are a mass market tool. People don't know how electricity works. Or car engines. Or microwaves. Or TVs. Why the hell should they know how computers work. They shouldn't! They shouldn't even need to (and don't!) know what the word protocol means. Except for a handful of nerds. And nothing stops those nerds from understanding it however deep they want to go.
As soon as computers became a mass market tool (which no-one "decided", it organically happened), they NEEDED to abstract everything technical away. Same as every other mass market product. And that's a GOOD thing. It's even a good thing for us nerds, 99% of the time.
I just wanna browse Amazon to buy another bag of dogfood, man. I don't wanna think about the underlying protocols. Switch tools to grab images. Etc. You're describing hell for 99.9999% of people.
