Seriously, how is this the top comment? They are in fact working on a brand new filesystem under the hood plus a Dropbox Infinite competitor, on top of all the other stuff. They didn't exactly phone this one in.
Also from the likes of your pet feature wishlist I'm not sure you are making an informed critique. Apple has withdrawn from the Vulkan group and put serious effort into its own graphics API, Metal. While you may not like that decision, it's no indication of low engineering investment.

- raimue 10y agoAPFS is only a developer preview in macOS Sierra, your system will not use it by default. It is meant for production use with the 2017 release. The filesystem does not seem to include any innovation, it is just catching up to the state of the art. A new filesystem was long overdue ever since ZFS was dismissed.

- pixelcloud 10y agoI read that as. We are going to make sure spinning disk performance REALLY sucks this time.
