  > UNIX based OS with an accessible filesystem
That's the first time that I've heard of someone praising OS X for its 'accessible filesystem.' Care to expand?


As mentioned above, I did indeed mean accessible in the sense you can actually see the filesystem, create directories etc. If I am comparing to FreeBSD then not really going to argue about it being open to the user (though I think it is probably a very good thing that they hide all the UNIX system files from the average user, most people I know with a computer think the filesystem is called 'Desktop').


I would assume that this is comparing OS X to iOS, where (as I understand it) applications are restricted to their own file system areas.


It was not praise for OS X, but reflecting on the fact that there is no user accessible filesystem on iOS.
