"Folder" or "Directory"?

Atari TOS had file-cabinets representing the disk-drives, adn then fodlers
for folders, and "paper" for files.

Why? Files are represented as pictures of paper (with an icon) - and folders
often have paper inside. The fact is that *most* OS's use the term "Folder".
Anyway, my argument was that they should use the same term if they are to
use the same icon. There may be different icon sets with "drawers" for folders
- but the fact is that KDE's standard icon is a folder. Doesn't the fact that
konqueror has the option to create a new directory, and then uses a "folder"
to represent this, not seem silly?
