Re: I don't need dropbox to be a filesystem
"It's a complete user experience"
Do yourself a favour and knock the buzzword bullshit on the head. You only make yourself sound like an idiot. Using a file syncer is not an "experience", well, not unless you've spent your whole life locked in a box. Have you?
"If you disagree, that's fine, but you have to come up with a theory that explains the relative success of Dropbox compared to, say, rsync."
I'm not saying do command line tools for everyone, just for experienced linux users - which most are. Is this too hard for you to comprehend?
