CunoFS: Is POSIX Outdated in the Cloud Era?
POSIX is an established standard that developers know how to interact with, providing them with a less complicated and less error-prone development process. Lots of existing software is built on the POSIX filesystem paradigm, ready to run in any environment that supports it or be integrated into new toolchains to reduce overall development time. POSIX stays relevant not because of bleeding-edge features, but because developers like its reliability — they only use object storage APIs because they have to.

Slashdot: Unix Pioneer Ken Thompson Announces He's Switching From Mac To Linux

Now recently, meaning within the last five years, I've become more and more depressed, and what Apple is doing to something that should allow you to work is just atrocious. But they are taking a lot of space and time to do it, so it's okay.
And I have come, within the last month or two, to say, even though I've invested, you know, a zillion years in Apple — I'm throwing it away. And I'm going to Linux. To Raspbian in particular.
