I understand your argument. It is certainly relevant for those that require this kind of hand-holding.

On the other hand, many of us Linux/BSD users have not found a legitimate use for it.

Linux has plans for BTRFS ("Butterface") that will be a modern design but that's a ways off. Microsoft talked about upgrading from NTFS 2-3 years ago but apparently couldn't pull it off



It is interesting to note that some Linux distros have offered the XFS filesystem experimentally. But it is difficult to get the OS to boot on it, even for us experienced code writers!
