Re: Case Sensitive File Systems...
They are also a PITA for programmers, even file lists mean you can miss a file because it is listed later because person capitalised the name out of typing habits.
Even if you feel that way about it, case sensitivity can, at most, be described as a user preference like an editor. Since *nix doesn't offer the choice to be case insensitive, it is not better than Windows in this respect, just different.
And Linux doesn't have File Streams, so there.
And Linux doesn't have Fibers, yah boo sucks to you.
And Linux doesn't have Wait-on-multiple-events easily. Using a sockety IO thingy which only works for file-like objects or you have to use some kind of list at the end of a pipe.
Nevertheless, I know Linux is a completely acceptable OS, I use it often, in anger, and I see the benefits where there are benefits.
I also know that I use Windows on my home machine for a reason. Just because you prefer it one way doesn't mean I should.
And, not that it is critical or means I am right per se, but more PC users agree with my view on which OS they use - even when it costs them money to do so.
