I haven't felt the urge to check out the release notes for a Linux kernel release in years. Wake me up when they get VM hooks to speed up GC or something. The new developments just aren't that relevant on a client machine.
It's not how I want to operate either, but that's the direction Apple has been heading to for a long time

- silly mixed-case directories with spaces
- case-insensitive filenames
what negative aspects of the filesystem would affect an 'intermediate' user (e.g. a high-level hacker) on a day-to-day basis? Admittedly, those two are very frustrating, but I'm struggling to think of any others.
That and permissions seem to get screwy at times. I had a long running issue where I could not launch JAR files, found others with similar issues and finally figured out, I no longer had permission to my own user folder and the JAR I was launching needed to create a working directory. Ended up solving the problem for more than myself.
I still try to figure out the desire for case sensitivity in about anything
