<i>I don't know if it's really a very closed format or if writing file system drivers is just really f'n difficult.</i>
I'm voting A. A filesystem format should be very easy to decode, right? Typically you'd have fixed lengths for most of the data in the directory, and anyone would be able to compare the filesystem from point A to point B. Having a filesystem format that's strangely complicated only invites corruption as developers try to keep up with it.
