Font Book is a very welcome edition to the Mac OS. I like how it also lists non-English fonts in the English character set.

When fonts are disabled are they moved to a different folder or are they simply removed from font menus?

in short, nothing. FontBook just flags the fonts so they don't apear in the menus. If you dont have FontBook runung thay are all enabled by default (the totaly wrong behaviour IMHO. they should be disabled, and you would use the app to enable the fonts).

FontBook is a total waste for anybody who neads a font management app. How pointles a font management app for people who don't nead one.

I don't think the point of Font Book was to supplant the already developed font management tools for the graphic designers. Get over it.

I think a rudimentary font management tool for people like me is perfect - I do some occassional graphics work (and of course have lots of fonts). I don't want to spend the money on a pro-level management tool I don't need - nor do I want to spend the time organizing fonts.

Font Book should aspire to be a very basic font management tool - it needs some work at this point.
