Only Tags:no folders?

What I’m trying to do

Use Obsidian with tags and no folders. I am questioning the traditional folder approach! The folder hierarchy system has been our default for decades, it results in burying files in endless nested folders, with duplicates all over the place.

Please suggest plugins, like tagwrangler, tagfolder and other to manage with this folderless approach I am attempting to do.

Use tags and not folders, but still able to work productively. My question is, are there any downsides to having all the files tagged? How would you go about setting it up? I know there has been a long debate on it, but I missed it and would appreciate a short primer on the pros and cons.

Things I have tried

no results on these search terms.

I’m surprised. When I entered Tags vs folders, multiple threads came up in Knowledge management as well.

Have you tried searching for keyword like “folderless” or “no folders” or “only tags”? It has been tried before.

You could also just try it out yourself. Make a copy of your vault and restructure it wildly. Let us know, how you liked it.

No, that worked.
Can a mod close the thread. Thanks.
