Ha. I strongly disagree, for many reasons. The main one being that they have such terrible software devs (sorry but lately every Apple release was a fiasco) that they couldn't possibly have a "safe" and "private" environment, not intentionally obviously, but they keep showing their lack of concern and involvement time after time.

FWIW, they recently deployed a new filesystem to 1 billion devices with a software update. I'm pretty sure that qualifies them as a competent engineering organization.

So in your opinion APFS ins't a failure that barely worked for about half a year after it's public release ?

Caused problems for almost every software where a patch was needed by the devs (namely docker, sure you could find more examples).

I actually had to reformat my drive because Disk Util.app on a APFS formatted drive could not handle bootcamp correctly on release and it foobared my entire drive.

To their credit they get it right when you give them some months and a userbase of millions of people. I simply wish they did all that before they actually publicly release their latest botch and enable it by default on every device.

Believe me, if APFS was a huge disaster, it never woulda left the front page of this website. Instead it was all griping about RAM and keyboards on the MacBook Pro.
