Look into it, it’s pretty good.
And Apple updated hundreds of millions of devices to it from an old file system without losing any data. Imagine Microsoft pulling off such a migration. It was silently done in the background with a normal OS update. Really impressive.

No, it’s garbage because of its approach to case sensitivity.
It’s case insensitive by default (which is a WTF in itself and encourages the same laziness Windows users thrive on with NTFS) but it also has a case sensitive mode.
Except the case sensitive mode is almost entirely useless because of the amount of apps it breaks that assume the default case-insensitive mode. It also means that you as a programmer have to add extra crap to your file handling code for case insensitive string comparisons if you want to support both modes

Ah that would explain why I didn’t know. I have next to no experience with Apple devices.
