Gmail still doesn’t support folders.

Mozilla Revives Eudora…You Remember Eudora, Don’t You?

I just don’t get this. TechCrunch and others talk about how Gmail doesn’t support folders when, to me, tags (or labels…or um…folders, whatever you want to call them) are folders.  They’re a superset of folders actually.

Is the folder metaphor so ingrained in our psyche that we can’t see them–right there in front of our eyes– unless they are called folders? If Google did the old s/label/folder/g would we be all good?

Or am I completely missing something?
