Do you think everything should be a node in drupal ?
I have read in the "Pro drupal development book" on the page 86 that there have been great debates about this question but can not find them.
By the way, what are the objects in drupal ?
-node
-block
-user
-comment
-view
-panel
-file
others?
If "everything is node", should a link between two nodes be a node itself ?
I used to think that node should be a kind of class constructer that build every objects in drupal and then can be plugged with any functionnality available. No I think it is a bad idea. And you ?

What about viewing node as abstract class
Because node is the common header et model of behaviour for many modules.
Node metaphor - document
Node is a document. So just think should all be a document?
I think no.
Because document contains some data about real object.
So
-node - Yes
-block - No
-user - No, But it should have profile that Yes
-comment Yes
-view No
-panel NO
-file No (but not sure)
