I'm primarily a command line user, I don't use explorer to view, rename, move, copy files etc. Like I said, unix-y. If you think "manage computer stuffs" the OS should bundle all tools anybody could ever want.

Most popular Linux distros include a whole lot more than just a stripped down kernel.

  Exactly, they include other programs. They don't ship a kernel that includes a music player.

    That's a meaningless distribution as far as most OS uses are concerned.

And yet you don't use different file systems for small files vs large files, for text vs movies. One assumes that a filesystem can handle all of that kind of data. But one layer above we don't want all those under a unified interface.
