Good for you. Sounds like you don't need this program. Since you're aware that there are people who treat "Downloads" and "Desktop" like a flat filesystem, presumably you can understand why this would be useful to them and others.
Maid isn't only for cleaning up Downloads, etc. -- it may even be helpful for drivebyacct2 to organize things in other ways. For example, this is a Maid script I've reused many times when handling SRT files for videos:

That said, Maid has certainly helped me out, and I'm happy that so many others have found it intriguing. (Thanks for the comments!)
