Again, pure BS.    I know several big Cocoa or WebObjects developers who 
came from the NeXT world who run the current OS X just fine with UFS.  
Some of the Carbon based apps have some problems on UFS, but the system 
itself runs just fine and your OSS and Cocoa apps and the system itself 
run just fine.

Get your facts straight.
