Considering making my entire DT database simply indexed in native filesystem. Thoughts?

Except maybe you should touch the Finder when you add files. Otherwise you can wind up with a folder which partially resides inside DT3 and partially resides in your Finder. Then if you restore one but not both from a backup, or if you move files from there elsewhere, or if a year from now you do not quite remember all these details, or some new app does something funky to your file system…
