Let us instead unite against things that we all agree suck.
Unicode support.
Also, filesystems. And Unicode support in filesystems.
Apple filesystems have been brain-damaged since birth by not being
case-sensitive. Apple finally addressed this in HFSX, a filesystem
which has shipped with OS X for years, but it's not for normal use yet
because some apps are still broken by it. Even if HFSX ever does
become mainstream, never fear: The original error has already been
repeated in HFS+, in the form of forced Unicode normalization in
filenames.
It appears that filename compatibility issues with OS X will never go
away. Ever.
