Comment 25 for bug 382703

Though it sounds a little goofy to experienced users, I think it would be easier for new users to understand "Home Folder" as opposed to just "Home." If I'm helping a friend, I'm going to say "go to Music in your Home Folder." Using "Home Folder" tells the user that it is the folder they should be putting all of their files in. While "Home" is close to that, "Home" is also used too often for a main screen or menu system for devices and interfaces, as opposed to a location for storing files. "Home Folder" would be more descriptive and easier to understand. Like it or not, that's why "My Documents" has persisted for so long; it tells the user exactly what that location is for.

Anyway, just my 2 cents. I do think the naming should be more consistent either way though.
