Do you mean things like My Documents at the same level as My Computer even though the documents are all in the computer. I always thought that was counterintuitive. While I am writing about Explorer, the two-pane, click to open a folder in the other pane, click that folder, etc to be quite tedious, especially when using an application to open files in one folder and then save them in another where the source and destination folders are several layers deep. There must be a better way, maybe something that functions more like the Start-programs where the submenus fly out with mouse rollover. It would be much faster to navigate up and down. Or even an Explorer view that shows the whole tree - or as many expanded levels as possible - all at once. You could just go where you wanted without all of that clicking up and down a tree.
