The developer community is also excited about it - in hisseminal Mac OS 10.5 review, John Siracusa called it "indistinguishable from magic" and said DTrace "can't help but lead to better, faster, more stable applications." For an in depth description of DTrace, I highly recommend you read …

(You can toggle this behaviour with the ‘pill’ control on the right side of any Finder window.) So far I’m happy to be back, except for theproblemin Leopard in which it won’t remember the View setting (as Icons/as List) for each folder. This change was intentionally made by Apple because they liked it this way for Browser (non-Spatial) mode, and didn’t seem to notice that it broke a very …

Also,Ars Technica last year also didn’t give any real hope that ZFS would be in 10.5— maybe have to wait for 10.6, but I don’t think so. Too soon. I think they will wait for the next one, 10.7? or whatever that will be called. Might as well wait to do ZFS when it goes to all Intel Macs makes more sense. Make the major change then. …

Well as mentioned its an Objective-C wrapper around the C interface and allows you to utilise the full power of FSEvents in only a few lines of code. The design of SCEvents …
