I think people don't have too many problems with the
unix-filesystem-of-objects concept.
In my experience, what I find most confusing is the modality of the
commands, and separation of similar commands:

- change user/group/other: this cake was cut in the other direction
compared to chmod/chown

- copy and move: I could see them merged, after all mv/cp/ln are kind
of polymorphic in the way they are used

- edit/settings/edit design: for PRPages, title is in edit, but
navigation title is in settings, and the structure name was in move or
add; tags would have their place in the edit dialog, and the
environment/css are redundant with edit design

Of course the commands make sense individually because of the pattern
in the overall design, but that doesn't mean they map to a nice
interaction language for the user.
