 (Virtual) folders and views are the same thing, just different names.
 Both are just filters (e.g. display the music by "this and that"
 artist; the songs with less than 60 bpm; messages address to this
 newsgroup or written by this person).  The purpose and usage is
 different than that of a hierarchical list of bookmarks.  Playlists are
 something that you set up for a session.  With bookmarks you usually
 look for a specific item to use immediately.

 I'm curious, I'll dig in the epiphany archives...
