Re: My uninformed comment
I don't think it's unreasonable for someone to be able to buy an SD card, cheerfully start using it and then read and write to the same card with some other device. Uniformed? Quite right. This isn't the sort of thing someone should have to be informed about.
I don't think it's unreasonable for someone to buy a petrol car and fill it up with diesel and expect it to run just fine.
You should direct your ire at Microsoft, as they invented exFAT specifically to enable them to collect patent fees on the "new" format, while the Linux bunch just decline to pay them. And secondarily device manufacturers, who gleefully jump into Microsoft's trap (taking you with them), when they could easily use a common and standard format like UDF (as found on DVDs).
