For newcomers from Windows, everything is same (or equally strange and new), no problem. But users of contemporary distributions are used to certain logic, naming, etc. Such people can be very confused. Perfect documentation could fix this. I don't argue against progress (anyway, I don't have technical skill to foresee all consequences), I'd just point that we should be careful here.
Speaking of Windows, they have a System32 directory where 64-bit stuff goes and SysWOW64 where 32-bit stuff goes. And while System32 is legacy, SysWOW64 is relatively new (at least speaking of the timelines in which we are...and yes I do know what WOW64 is; the directory names are still confusing). So FHS isn't the only source of naming which is at least not necessarily descriptive and at worst downright confusing. -- Jason Craig
