Everything buckets are the future

In somewhat delayed response to Alex Payne’s objection to “everything buckets,” i.e. software like Yojimbo, I’d like to make the following comment:

Yes, computers work better with structured data.

I do not want to structure my data.

I want my computer to structure my data for me.

This is the definition of an everything bucket: a program that structures my data for me.
