"Suppose gvfs is working, wouldn't it be a good idea to make this more obvious to the users and not hide it somewhere as a hidden folder?"

I have asked the same question in multiple places without answer. To further the question, why isn't gvfs-fuse installed by default? When a user mounts a share, they expect it to be accessible by ALL their applications, not just the core Gnome ones. I know that gvfs is a userspace filesystem, so why not mount it somewhere obvious in the user's home folder. Something like this maybe: "/home/user/Volumes". How is a new user supposed to know to install gvfs-fuse, then look in a hidden folder by the name of .gvfs?
