This is something I never really get about Linux... Its fascination of Filesystems.
I can see a new modern file system every 10 years or so. However most other OS's put there efforts elsewhere. I think Linux should too. I think it is a case that File Systems are fun to design and program. However there are areas that are much more annoying to design and code that needs to be addressed.
