Then explain why people use OS X? Seriously the worst file system that so many developers (And I am guessing a HIGH percentage of Linux developers use) I can't stand going to Linux conferences and the Macs come out and are running OS X.
Could you elaborate please?
HFS is the worst file system and it has effected me several times and I avoid Macs and OS X like the plague.

Your experience could be fact, but in about 10 years of using MacBooks for work, it has effected me about 2 times, yet I had way more issues with sound/graphics/sleep/projection/skype/internationalization on the Linux distros I have tried. I don't mean to start a flame war, but there is probably a reason you see MacBooks at linux conferences, and FS bugs are not a huge factor.
Paper Cuts
HFS+ problems are a disaster. I lost 2 10 hour days of video edits and work and my backup were also garbage.
> FS bugs are not a huge factor
You know you are not seeing things clearly when you say statements like that.

I assume the OP strongly dislike HFS. I don't know enough about it myself, but I have relatively low standards for my dev machine - HFS has never failed me.
Wuala is using it, too.

Those things preventing the system from being usable one way, or another. So, for my experience, worse than paper cuts. Not to mention there is a great idiom about death by paper cuts.

I haven't. No one else I know has. You're missing my point that this is anecdotal data. It's not a disaster if it's not impacting enough users.

You know you are not seeing things clearly when you think you know how clearly someone is seeing things. I know, for example, not to store Cyrillic music names on my MBP after I hit a bug. I have also read how bad HDF+ is, legacy wise. However, that's one factor of usability, among many. I've lost more raids than hfs+ files. Every filesystem has bugs, whether it's a huge factor or not is whether enough people encounter them or not.

No, because Linux had libfuse ages ago.
libfuse: 2001 Dokan: 2007 We are in 2016...do you still still try to understand which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Comparing libfuse to Dokan is like comparing fat16 to HAMMER. It's recent, but not the first by any stretch

Some limitations that really do have a major impact on people: (Features Missing)
data checksums
nanosecond timestamps
concurrent access (let more than one process at the time access the filesystem)
checksumming
snapshotting
longer time frame (February 6 2040 for HFS+)
sparse file support
real hard linksEarlier quoted context omitted.

Just do a little research on HFS+ issues. It is not a small problem. This was one of the reasons why the OS X server was killed.
