Leaving aside any prejudices one may have from success or failure of various implementations of a Semantic Desktop, do you actually want one?
People use computers for a very diverse range of tasks, personally, for my own work-flow I don't see any advantage.
My own requirements are for document content indexing, a task that previously I had used Beagle for. More latterly Nepomuk, which I found moderately successful but woefully lacking in terms of complex search queries. I'll refrain from commenting on Baloo. Currently my requirements are met by a recently discovered (my myself) indexing/search utility, Recoll, which I am greatly impressed with.
I am curious as to how others, especially those who make extensive use of tags, ratings, metadata etc. and are less concerned with actual document content, view the advantages or otherwise of Semantic Desktop capabilities.
