First off, as much as I find synthetic file systems to be useful, I don't have a major problem with the Unix mindset. The way I read the post to which I replied earlier, "mistakes made because of a Unix mindset" was referring to the MacFUSE implementation, not Mac OS X itself. Remember that Mac OS X doesn't even have a proc file system. Its architecture is also quite stringent about what third parties can do in the kernel. Therefore, it "isn't exactly geared" even more than other common Unix-like systems.
