It's interesting that both NTFS and APFS have now apparently been declared 'broken' due to performance problems with two very specific applications (Git and NPM), and that the reverse statement, that is's perhaps those applications that are being unreasonable, isn't quite as fashionable.

I mean, I don't use NPM, but I recently copied over some small-ish raw Git repositories between machines, and had several WTF moments when I looked at what was actually going over the wire.

Instead of refactoring two of the planet's most widely-used 'consumer' file systems, perhaps https://www.sqlite.org/appfileformat.html should be seen as a more reasonable way forward?
