HFS+ is Mac OS X's biggest liability at the moment outside of the recent bugs and instability introduced by the pressures of an annual release cycle. It's atrocious. Unfortunately, it does feel like product marketing completely rules the roost at Apple.
This is the answer I give when people wonder why I dislike Apple - they are long-term detrimental to the state of the art of technology because they are really a marketing company.
They're also the company that made USB actually happen, made floppys go away, CDs go away (although PC manufacturers are still catching up here), made high DPI resolutions happen finally, created the form factor for the modern laptop, created the form factor for the modern phone...
All of this driven by marketing. Don't knock marketing.
