That doesn't change anything I said. Apple's decision to make HFS
default to case insensitive formatting had *nothing* to do with Adobe.

That's Adobe's fault for not supporting case sensitive operating systems
in their Mac product, and your fault for formatting your file system as
case sensitive. Work it out amongst yourselves. The overwhelming
majority of Mac users out there don't have such problems.

No, that's not obvious at all. Not sure where you get that idea. As far
as I know, Adobe has never supported case sensitive file systems in
their Mac software.

Nope; as one person replied in that post, "Adobe products have long had
problems with case-sensitive file systems". It's nothing new.
