-Gnome/Nautilus should hide directories that contain technobabble. E.g /etc/, /proc, /bin, /lib, /sbin, /usr, /dev by default, leaving directories like /home and /media more visible to the user.

Don't adobt this from windows, I hate the message you get when you try to get into ~/windows or ~/programs, "this is systems files, [...], you risk to damage the system if you make changes [...]", in linux ins't that worse, the user can't damage the files.
