Fascinating. What comes to mind is frameworks that enforce horizontal separations... and the whole "convention over configuration" opine/meme.

TLDR; don't group files by "what they do in common" but rather the ones that "work with the same thing". So instead of components, libraries, icons folders, group them like table1, table2, etc
