I am aware that the devices cannot be mounted as storage devices on computers, but I am curious as to whether or not it is or will be possible to repartition them and make them mount? Adding media and such and managing files is a pain this way, even if it is supposidly faster.

It's nothing to do with the way the device is partitioned. Google switched to MTP with Jelly Bean. The original HOX was a mass storage device. But that was switched to MTP with the JB update too.

So that won't change again? I guess HTC manager is really the best solution now?

Windows should be able to handle MTP devices very much like it handles external storage. The device should show up as a Portable Media Player in your file browser which you can then browse just like any other storage.
