There are so many filesystems. So. Many.
Have any of them considered actually dropping some and pooling efforts into the more promising ones?

Isn’t “anyone can fork if a project doesn’t really fit their taste” sort of the curse of open source?
Swallowing your pride, merging into another project and taking a less glamorous role in that project is not as easy as it was to fork when steering your project.
This is generally speaking. I’m definitively not saying any of this is that case with the XFS project.

I don’t think it’s because of the ego. But if you’re working with other people, you need to do a lot of non-coding (non-fun) things. Align thinking, find compromises, establish and follow processes. Things are easier and more fun hacking alone. No processes to limit you, no one telling you “this doesn’t align with the vision of the project” etc.
