If you are hoping for case-sensitivity, which is the only part of a new file system that would fix this problem, don't get your hopes up - I'm pretty positive that Apple will never make their default file system case sensitive. This has been discussed at length in many forums.
As for HFS+, what does everybody dislike about it? The only problem I see with it is a lack of journaling. It has support for huge files & volumes, is fast, B*tree based and has support for extended metadata & forked files. If you compare it's feature list to most file systems people ask for, the only thing it's really missing is journaling. It is not the MOST robust file system I've heard of, but I haven't had a problem with it in a few years. It got corrupted under OS 9, but that was more an issue of OS 9's stability.
