The only complains I've seen with FSEvents is that it doesn't support

fixed in OS X 10.7 so that complain is moot.
Good, and according to the stats I've seen, 95% of users are on the 2
most recent OS X versions!
I found the solution with kqueue's vnode, which acts like inotify. It
doesn't have recursion nor file modification events when watching
folders so individual files had to be watched and the directories
checked against cache data every time an event came in.
That sounds like a quite big limitation.
It is, but I managed to get around it. Although I haven't yet
implemented the renaming/move operation detection. I might as well plan
on writing the FSEvent implementation for Mac OS X and state some
limitations with FreeBSD in that case =) Thanks for the hint!
