Eight. Including Torvalds himself, there are 8 people who are bothered by this.

You can trust me on this...

No he doesn't.  He runs Linux on a Macbook Air.

I read an article a while ago and he seemed to allude to using it.
Something like "at some point everyone just gets tired of configuring
their environment so why bother" not an exact quote and maybe I
read too much into it but it sounded like he was saying I just
use macosx because I don't want hassle with all the config

Maybe a dual-boot or vm

http://www.quora.com/What-Linux-distribution-does-Linus-Torvalds-use-on-his-MacBook-Air

That's a Linux desktop on his Air;

And I agree with him about the Macbook Air;

http://www.cultofmac.com/162823/linux-creator-linus-torvalds-i-love-my-macbook-air/

Sufficiently so that I bought one. Although I am hovering on the threshold
between between keeping it on MacOS for the automatic updates & having
someone else do the support and ditching MacOS for Linux because I
prefer it.

Is there a benchmark comparing HFS+ with other filesystems?
