I'm building a rails+angular app at the moment, and sort of fell by default in the component-type folders. Reading this blog makes me think that you're right and topical folders are much better, but then an alarm bell goes off. If this is a good way of doing it, why isn't it the Rails way of doing it?

Does anyone know if the Rails core team ever discussed using this directory layout? I know that it would take a fairly big rewrite of some glue logic in Rails that we all know and love, but merely 'hard to do' often does not stand in the way of 'the right way' in Rails.. right?

Can anyone point out something that immediately stands out as possibly problematic?
