Disagreed, the UNIX FS model is as bad as you can get.
It "works" only because 99.99% of all programs don't try to poke into other files and directories where their fingers don't belong. That's the only reason things are not in a complete chaos.
We need DB-like features in FS-es not just yesterday, but 10 years ago.
Some of the most successful projects I've seen and participated in were making a heavy usage of SQLite which does solve the FS deficiencies quite well. Though it does require a buy-in that's rarely there for most teams.
We don't need more abstractions on top of stuff. We need new ways of interacting with the old existing stuff while hiding the existing stuff forever.
