Actually, it is one tool, with several different modes of operation.
The fact that they share a lot of code makes them part of one PROGRAM.
But a spreadsheet is a very different TOOL than a word processor
And nobody who's halfway organized is likely to save all those different kinds
of files in the same folder.
And anybody who is organized, will have a custom directory for _each_
project_, and _each_ client.
What is tossed into those directories is the content for that specific
client, regardless of the format that they are in.

Whether you do separate folders for each project and client depends on
what type of work you're doing. As Thomas pointed out, in many work
situations most projects consist of only one file. Yet you may still
have (as I & my coworkers did in a prior job) hundreds of
word-processing documents, dozens of spreadsheets, and dozens of
databases. Separate folders for projects or customers didn't make sense
there, but separate folders for type-of-document did.
And OOo, if the developers are willing, CAN make it possible for its
different tools to have their own default folders. Or they CAN give it
enough of a memory so that each tool (Calc, Writer, Base, etc, not just
the overall program) remembers where it last saved a file. Either or
both of those options are capabilities I'd like to see added to OOo.
And if they were there, I believe a huge percentage of users would take
advantage of them.
