What are your reasons for saying this? I've programmed extensively using both
GS/OS and HFS, and I much prefer GS/OS. It is better thought out, doesn't have
to inlclude kludges to support MFS, and has cleaner support for alternate
device drivers and File System Translators. It also supports character devices
(like the screen and keyboard) which the Mac File Manager doesn't. I can't
really think of a case where I would say that the Mac File System is better
than GS/OS.
