Well, the FileSystem API is still being worked on. Just quite different from what Chrome implemented (which was very Unix-centric, iirc).

  Well, that's good to hear. My concern is, we need APIs that are predictable, straightforward, and easy to use for devs to create offline web apps. Right now, it's quite difficult, and hence hardly anyone does it. ServiceWorker may help a lot with one part of the equation, but it doesn't fix up the persistent storage story of the Web. I find the IndexDB API maddening to use personally.

    Agreed on all accounts. I seem to remember that the current WIP is here: http://w3c.github.io/filesystem-api/Overview.html http://w3c.github.io/filesystem-api/Overview.html

    Its not just you, it is maddening to use. A sane wrapper is mandatory.
