I use my bookmarks constantly and I have a well structured folder hierarchy so I don't run into the problems you describe. There is no downside to having lots of bookmarks. It isn't the same as a physical space in which the 'clutter' or 'less is more' ideologies may have merit.
I respect that. It doesn't work for me but it's an interesting thought. Props on being able to arrange it successfully. Says some positive things about you by extension.
I only keep bookmarks that are really important or used often, the latter which doesn't really make sense but when I want food I open up my Food folder and looking at places around me helps me pick something.
