Resource forks aren&#x27;t anything new - it&#x27;s existed since the dawn of macs - if you haven&#x27;t known about resource forks while working with macs maybe you should learn a bit more about the core of the platform.<p>That said, I agree, it&#x27;s a horrible design - but it&#x27;s existed for 20+ years already.<p>For me, this is just like saying &quot;hey people! FAT is horrible, it only allows 8 character + 3 character extension file names!&quot;
