Maybe I am missing your point, but... yes it does; the default install of OS X uses HFS+ which is the same filesystem used by older Mac OS versions. HFS+ is fast and supports resource forks. Installing OS X on UFS (case sensitive, slow, no resource forks) is highly discouraged unless you have a VERY good reason to use it. e.g. you have a Unix program that cannot deal with case preserving filesystem like HFS+.Rev can only do what's physically possible: because of the Mac's unique
dual-fork file system (data and resources) no other platform can create a
Mac executable.
But Mac OSX doesn't use this dual-fork file system anymore...
The situation is a bit confusing for developers on OS X though. App developers on OS X can use CFM or MachO binary formats, file extensions and app bundles or and resource fork data/creator codes. Mix and match. Use all, or use none. And hope the Finder and the OS can figure it out :-)
Personally I think an application bundle w/ the XML property lists and resources contained within the bundle is pretty cool. I never liked ResEdit.
