Why was this decided?  Seems immensely dumb to me and just barking of UI 
inconsistency. 

I mean, just pick one or the other. I would lean towards Folders since most 
anyone halfway knowlegable knows that a Folder == a directory, but people 
coming over from Windows might not have that knowledge.

Either way though the argument seems pretty foolish to a bystander. KDE should 
just pick one or the other and stick with it.
