I've been thinking about doing this myself, so it's fantastic to see a project.

I find a files-centric (and more broadly filesystem-centric) approach easier to grapple with than one that focuses on apps (and hiding away the data). It makes it much easier to access my own data for other purposes outside of what the app provides. In particular when the files are in plain-text or otherwise human-editable. I can reuse all of the existing tool that I'm familiar with to search, modify or re-purpose the data.

I can do away with files if the app provides scripting capabilities (IPC, plugins,...). I know the average users won't use it, but if you've nailed down your workflow, it's liberating to be able to speed up parts of it.
