This type of thing only works if you discern from a quick preview, of what the document is. Photos work well for something like this, but documents without titles...I'm guessing not so much.
Besides "feeling compulsively clean", The only reason why we sort or organize anything is so that we can find it later. I think this has better potential if a search box was tacked on to it. That way, if you search for something, all the relevant documents rank themselves in front of you.
I can't imagine using something like this to organize code. But animating compilation there would be a neat visual (and waste CPU cycles)
However, if it's coupled with augmented reality, it would probably make an interesting way to browse.
