You are right that recursive algorithms have their troubles, one of which is the possibility of overflowing the stack. A list-based algorithm also can have its own troubles, namely that it might overflow the maximum size of the list data type that you are using to contain all of the folders or it might run out of the memory needed to contain a very large list.
I certainly agree with all you are saying, but I don't know any limit such as a maximum size of the list data type, and running out of memory is something I can only imagine in extreme cases. :-)
