That's a fair point. Perhaps better to format a "work" partition as
HFSX then and keep the system partition as HFS. That way, you can at
least check out sources and do various things which are tripped up by
case insensitivity while still not running afoul of apps like this.

Symantec/Norton AntiVirus 10 & 11 can't run with case-sensitive
filesystem.
HR Block TaxCut 2007 can't find images or XML files to function.
Feral Interactive - XIII - Game can't run when installed on case-
sensitive filesystem.
And I keep finding more and more of them. :(

That's easily remedied by using the new[er] case-sensitive variant
of HFS (also known as HFSX). You can now choose this as a
filesystem type when you install MacOSX.
