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.
