I sympathize with your feeling. I felt like this for a long time. But

I feel adding the symlinks is part of providing the best system.
There is little downside and they can help the transition for new
experienced users. That said, we should avoid /opt, /media, and /srv.
We don't have the equivalent and it would only cause confusion.
This is my point as well. There's no bad thing about adding symlinks, in
this case GoboHidden, as far as I can see, but they can be advantageous
when users migrate from other distros. They could also be helpful for
new linux users, if (when) we get such using GoboLinux, when they can
read suggestions and pointers posted for other distributions as the
directories (symlinks) exist.
For /opt I'm unsure what to do, I don't even know what it's used for,
but I think that we should have directories corresponding to /media and
/srv.
Having a standard place where media mounts is a good thing, so that
users know where to look and such things can be integrated in gui, like
placing icons on desktop or similar. I really don't know where such
directory should be called or placed in GoboLinux, but I use /Mount for
that.
I use /Mount/Media for my HAL-ivman-pmount setup to automount removable
media. Then I have different static mountpoints directly under /Mount.
I liked Andy's idea better with media automounts directly under /Mount and
temporarily mounts under /Mount/Temp
What's /srv?
/srv is for server files, like apache root htdocs, subversion repositories
etc.
