Those are Dimdows file systems. They are not POSIX-compliant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MINIX_file_system

The 'extended file system' was an extension of MINIX. How much of the 
technical workings of the Unix file system remained after being filtered 
through Tannenbaum and the extension would be an interesting question. As 
far as the layout it didn't fall far from the tree.

Yes and no - he could have made a system that behaved differently to
most (all?) of the Unix platforms of the day in any number of ways, but
the consequence would be reduced adoption. We might be talking about
this in comp.os.freebsd.misc instead.

I suspect the filename restrictions would make FAT as a rootfs
challenging.

vfat does show up as the format for /boot/efi or a similar location for 
UEFI systems. It's small, just enough to satisfy the UEFI and get things 
going.

That’s the ESP, not the root filesystem. Linux doesn’t get to choose the
filesystem used on the ESP, it’s part of the UEFI specification.

That would be a function of the userland, not the Linux kernel itself.

The userland can be as simple or as complex as you like.

Yep!  I forgot about that.  So many files truncted to GUESSW~!.TXT where
you LOST the rest of the filename if you moved it to a filsystem that
didn't support it, then back.

I LOVE spaces in filenames.
I guess if you use the command line a lot and parse file arguments using 
spaces, its a bit irritating.

But if you uses a GUI its no issue at all

Yes, I'm a command line kind of guy, and spaces are a bit of a PITA.
Just have to remember to quote, but when you use shell expansions or
globbing, and then things get a bit trickier.

I don't see the difficulty with the spaces in my terminal. My bash
manages very well the spaces when I'm using my TAB on files which have
some spaces in their names.

Generally I can deal with it, but I still have trouble with rsync.
There's something to do with single quotes vs. double quotes
that I haven't quite wrapped my head around yet.

This is an issue with SSH (and possibly RSH before that as well). There 
needs to be an extra level of quoting when executing a command remotely by 
directly specifying it on the SSH command line, because you have a shell 
at the remote end, as well as the local end, being triggered by shell-
special characters.

At about this point my eyes glaze over and I just zip the files I want
to transfer into a file I call "new.zip", send that instead, and unzip
it on the other end.

They are a general PITA. I really like those situations when you can have 
single quotes within a double quoted string or double quotes within a 
single quoted string and languages that play fast and loose like Python or 
JavaScript where you can use either -- most of the time.

   NOTE that what you're advocating is More And More
   COMPLICATED ... work-arounds for work-arounds.

   Is THIS what we WANT ??? Is this GOOD ???

   Yea, yea, SOME Linux/Unix people advocate
   super-complicated ... great for their egos.
   Super-twisted scripts and command sets.

   Sorry, NO ... shouldn't BE like that.

   Apologies, but this is sort of existential

   comprehensible OR ELSE.

I'm not crazy about uppercase directories either. Desktop, Documents,

I do admit, I tend to do this a bit, as I like to capitalise nouns (I'm
a capitalist, you see).  But somtimes I think to myself, "why are you doing
