I'm not sure if many people have actually tried this since it's a little hidden in the System UI, but I spent almost all night last night organizing my games and this is by far the best folder system I've ever used on a console.
As someone with over 200 Switch games, this is proving essential for owning and using the system. Some of my personal highlights were that you can put a game in multiple folders. You can have MarioKart in a Nintendo folder, and also put it in a Racing folder. Also, you can very easily edit the folders after they are created and the UI is extremely clear, showing the games already in the folder and then filtered for all the games left outside the folder. In addition you can search for games while adding to the folders with keywords or titles. Just searching for "Nintendo" pulled up almost all the first party games. After making my first few folders, I was finding games I'd almost forgotten about, and this will make it 10x easier to find things to play. Party games folder for when your friends come over, retro gaming folder for all those NeoGeo games you got on sale. It's great.
