Could be for many reasons, my reason is simply that my folders are for
maintaining messages I intend to keep.  I don't want messages in my
folders that I do not intend to keep, and I think creating a cascading set
of folders is ridiculous....

inbox
    /computer
             /redhat
                    /keep

Way too deep for my tastes...

I like

inbox
     /linux
     /freebsd
     /....

etc.

So everything comes into my inbox and I read down through it from the top
every day, then move the messages I want to keep, over to their respective
folders when I'm done reading them, or don't want them hanging out in my
inbox anymore.

For me, personally, I like subject headers because it very clearly lets me
see what is list traffic, and what is not.
