It seems as if 100% of your criticisms have to do with exactly the issue in this article: Nobody supports resource forks but MacOS. So yeah, working with resource forks on systems that don't support them sucks.

This is why I miss them, but understand that they're not used any more.

I think I didn't properly communicate.

Resource forks let you put stuff outside of files that can and should go inside them. Now people have to look two places, or even be aware there are two places.
