Filesystems aren't complex to implement -- even complex filesystems.

What's harder is making them as robust as they need to be for practical daily use. Doing that is a matter of comprehensive testing, though. With filesystems, the hard part is QA, not implementation.

Oh it's word games with "implement". OK then, let's agree then developing a modern filesystem into a robust software for practical daily use is hard.
