In a previous rant I complained about the nonsense that is the file system hierarchy in most Unix and Unix-like OSes. NeXTSTEP and its successor Mac OS X done away with it in favor of a more logical file system hierarchy. Recently I learned about GoboLinux, and its breakthrough feature is its file system hierarchy. GoboLinux did away with the nonsense of the File System Hierarchy Standard in favor of a simpler NeXTSTEP/Mac OS X like hierarchy. All your apps are placed in /Programs/ and thus the hierarchy becomes the package manager.
There are other interesting aspects about GoboLinux, more about them here and here.
Here's an idea

I've got an idea for a utility that will keep you true to the cause.
Well, a mockup...
