Which is why it'd be nice if filesystems supported labels. I'd keep the directory structure, but I want to be able to apply the "2004 vacations" label on a all files in a given directory. Then you can add other particular labels to some files.

I don't want to have to manage labels separately for iPhoto, for Picasa and for all the possible image viewers that I'll use in the future.

Even when I disable in every machine I use, that's the idea behind KDE's Nepomuk.

Yes, yes, yes. I've been fighting photo management software for years when all I want is the ability to tag files.
Windows have had that for years now.

But I guess since Apple haven't done it yet, it doesn't exist to hipsters.
