-I must have written about this elsewhere, but here are my top three:
-
-1. `.DS_Store`. Finder litters faster than one could clean up.
-
-2. HFS+ NFD*.[^nfd] Heard of the cursed encoding `UTF8-MAC`? Pure Evil. Culprit of
- tons of garbled text issues (especially cross platform ones) and probably
- most length miscalculation issues. Even Apple's Terminal.app can't do NFD
- right. I wonder how Korean users navigate their filesystems in terminal.
-
-3. Plist XML. It's XML, but even worse.
-
-[^nfd]: NFD with an asterisk, i.e., not even NFD. According to Apple in
- [an old Technical Q&A](https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/qa/qa1173/_index.html),
-
- > The terms used in this Q&A, precomposed and decomposed, roughly
- > correspond to Unicode Normal Forms C and D, respectively. However, most
- > volume formats do not follow the exact specification for these normal
- > forms. For example, HFS Plus (Mac OS Extended) uses a variant of Normal
- > Form D in which U+2000 through U+2FFF, U+F900 through U+FAFF, and U+2F800
- > through U+2FAFF are not decomposed (this avoids problems with round trip

- They are conscious enough to call these oddities.
