Could we have a custom brushes quad menu to access customizable sub folders.
Please see discussion regarding custom brushes here:

Trevor - did you reply to the wrong post? That doesn't seem related.

PEC - nope, because we still need the context menu in the pickers.
We spent a good amount of time thinking through what needs to be available in the picker, but couldn't combine picking and management in the same UI due to lack of modifiers and lots of conflicts in interaction.

I'd have thought a Pie-type menu an inefficient space user. It's like using a spiral stair case, where you can't tread near the center because it is too small. So only the outside is useful.

Ctrl Alt z or Cmd Opt z gives you as many 'undos' as you have history states set to. Shift z sends you all the way back again.

Do you know this script that allows you to create custom thumbnails for selected number of brushes (or all of them). Photoshop brush stroke preview is not very good at visualizing what the brush will actually look like. You can of course use different stroke colors, text or draw a di*k in the thumbnail if that makes it easier to quickly pick the right brush. The script is called Brusher.

This is great to have all that support! wherever the interface will go towards, I am just glad everyone agrees there is a need, and I am sure adobe will provide! Any improvement will be an improvement on brushes organization.

We absolutely need to have this. While sketching and trying to get the concept down asap, scrolling through 100 brushes isn't very efficient + It's a lot neater to have it all organized.

Cheers,
David.
