I dislike the Windows implementation of folder windows for several
reasons, but a major one is that they take up massive amounts of screen
real estate. Why do they have to be so big, and filled with a lot of
useless detail?

On my desktop (I run OS/2), each folder has separately specified display
attributes, such as whether in icon view the icons are located as
placed, or put in multiple columns, etc. (There's also a tree view and a
details view, and the details view does take a lot of space.) In the
case of a folder whose files are all of the same kind, e.g. all source
files, I usually choose to display only the names (no icons shown) in a
simple multi-column list, so that the folder window is very small. That
matters to me. During program development, in particular, I'll have a
number of folder windows open and a number of other windows (e.g.
command shells) open. I want to be able to get at those easily. Windows
seems to have been designed for people who only run one program at a time.
