Why do you hate it?

It's a bit like saying,
- I hate database normalization, better to keep all rows in one single
table.
or even,
- I hate directories.

I have thousands of objects, it would be a total mess to keep them all in a
single directory.

Using a normalized directory structure makes sense for the SCM use-case,
I haven't seen any projects where all the files are kept in one directory.
