Mac OS X is notoriously built on a microkernel, so I always wondered why file systems were not user-land services anyway: isn't that the point of a microkernel? Or is the difference that without MacFUSE, file servers had to be some sort of special code, not a normal program or library?
The impression I get is that installing MacFUSE is a little fiddly: wouldn't it be nice if it were folded in to the next Mac OS X release?
