Really? I find them quite handy, but I don't know the bigger picture.

Interesting. I couldn't find any references to that?

@DeepDiver1975 Should I instead do something like this (with some more error checking):

```php
$dir = '/files';
$root = $this->getRootFolder();
$folder = null; // false?
if(!$root->nodeExists($dir)) {
    $folder = $root->newFolder($dir);
} else {
    $folder = $root->get($dir);
}
return $folder;
```
