I'm just curious really. If you were to look at your ipad/iphone right now. Would you see ALOT of folders? No folders? a few? I couldn't imagine having a bunch of apps on 6 or 7 pages...but im sure someone is rocking it that way
Got a tip for us?

I organize my apps by page. This means that I have 6 pages of apps, none of which that are full.
I tried them out way back when, but dumped them. I've also tried organizing my apps by page, I quit doing that too. I don't feel like nor have the time to perform management past videos.
I have never used folders on any of my iDevice's, simply because I think they look ugly. I organize my apps by full pages.
Folders for news, games, utilities, bookshelf, health, "stuff". Helps me find the apps I need quickly.
On my iPad, I use one folder for games to keep under two pages and my iPhone 4S I have so many folders to keep 2 pages too. 
I only have one folder on my first page of apps, but every other page on my iPhone has all folders.
+1 on my iPhone. First page is strictly most-used apps; 2nd page is all folders.
On the iPad I have 1 page of all folders, with the most used apps on the dock.
Mix of folders and apps. All kept down to one page. Much faster than trying to find the right page for an app.
Aside from the built in apps - I have over 350 apps in folders on my iPhone and a similar layout on my iPad. Do I use most of these 350? No but they come in handy from time to time (mostly utilities or productivity apps). However, given how lousy the iOS 7 folder layout is (constant scrolling, lesser apps on page) - I may just get rid of them.
Same here. I've always done it this way, and since iOS 7 offers unlimited pages within folders, I see more people opting for this as well.
