Well, I'll have to disagree with Affinity Designer and the whole rest of the world because it is an opaque convention, especially to the uninitiated.
Mio has a smoother learning curve than most every other software. That's a big reason it so beloved (IMHO).

Hi MindSet, in the future I want to have an additional type of hierarchical organizing tool - "folders" - which could have some different behavior than groups.

For groups though, it's safest for me to try and follow common behavior that is uniform across many apps.

If a group did not transform hidden sub objects when the parent group is moved, it would surprise other people that the group was not maintaining its structure.

Another related thing - say you have a box and hide some of the faces. If you then drag the box somewhere are you expecting the hidden faces would be left behind?
