> OK, I'm curious: why are people shoehorning the filesystem to fit the OS rather than carefully picking the OS that makes the most sense for the application it's being used for? Because the filesystem isn't the only feature of the OS that matters, and people often have more than one requirement. There are technical reasons to choose linux that have nothing to do with ext or xfs, and there are nontechnical reasons also. Just because someone has chosen linux doesn't mean they don't value their data.
