For example, I _have_ to use MS Word for Mac at work, as it’s not an iCloud aware app, there’s no way to save files to those folders in iCloud, unless that is, you save it in a folder intended for another iCloud aware app, obviously firstly saving it to your local hard drive then manually moving it into iCloud.

Apple intentionally dumbed down iCloud so that you couldn’t put your own files in there which is a rotten idea. They could have at least put in their ‘generic’ folders such as ‘Documents’, ‘Pictures’ and ‘Music’ for example and integrated it right into the Finder, like iDisk did before it, but it’s not to be. Apple need to up their game here.

Sure, with some poking around in a User’s Library folder, you can find such files. But that requires you to sort through archaic folder names and such. This makes the process much easier.

I predict that Apple will provide this level of functionality in some future OS Update.

1) Apple should have included this already.

2) Maybe Apple is avoiding including it because they seem determined to “dumb down” OS X so that it works like an iPhone/iPad. (Why do they insist on taking a MORE capable machine, that costs several times as much, act like a lass-capable machine?!?!)

3) When (if) Apple dose include this in the OS, they should pay the author for his idea and services. Sadly Apple keeps seeing similar good ideas that some inventive programmer creates, and then co-opts it by adding it into the OS.
