There are situations where following folder aliases into sub-folder is a good thing and other situations where it's a very bad thing. (The Script menu follows folder aliases and becomes completely unusable if you install an alias to a large folder in Script menu.)


Unusable in what way, exactly?

Folder aliases are very useful for building a hierarchy from multiple sources without copying files around, especially if you want an item to show up in more than one category. I would hate to not have aliases produce sub-menus everywhere.

If there's a usability problem or a performance problem those should be fixed, not worked around.
