I mean, finally getting standard networking and filesystem libraries is a really nice thing...

  It depends on your definition of "standard." POSIX is a standard, and it's the standard nearly everybody has used for networking and filesystem access.

    Microsoft is a notable exception. ;)

    Yeah, writing C++ code that works on both Windows and *Nix means I can't use straight POSIX, and usually wind up with Boost ASIO and Filesystem. Putting them into the standard library means I've got two fewer libraries I need to worry about in autoconf.
