But why if a subfolder ~/MyDocuments like on the tablets makes browsing ~/ unnecessary. It's just a strange and pointless. It is not the convention in the rest of the unix file structure. (Sorry tmmorris for hijacking your thread ;) )

Why would you want all of your document files inside of ~? It would ruin organization. Also Mac OS X shares the similar unix home file structure, its rather preferable if your organized.

On my computer I just have folders like Images, documents, videos visible on my ext2 fs in home. Works fine for me.
