&gt; In 15 years of working with Macs (as a programmer and as a semi-pro DAW&#x2F;NLE user), I&#x27;ve never been confused once by them.<p>Gosh, are you saying that the common use of ADS was a common mac pattern and people very familiar with the history of macs would understand this well?<p>Do you really think that refutes the point that they&#x27;re confusing to everyone else? While many OSs have implementations of ADS, almost no one uses them.
