ReiserFS, in particular, has much better answers to metadata storage than anything Apple has cooked up today. And there is a strong push for installable Windows filesystem drivers for ext3 and ReiserFS, something Apple could contribute to and make happen. With HFS+ and their own metadata initiative, Apple is becoming less and less compatible with the UNIX world, and they are wasting a lot of in-house development resources that could be better spent elsewhere.
