Any reason why you're not using Case Sensitive HFS+? I realize most people aren't so this is a nifty change but that seems nicer than using DMGs.

The only problem I ever ran into with it was needing to rename the internal file structure of Adobe apps since they were not particularly careful about matching file name case in code and configuration files. There were scripts to fix their apps. I hope the newer CS editions don't have that problem still...

Steam is also completely broken on case sensitive filesystems. Currently I run a case sensitive partition and store my source and /usr/local directories there. That way all my development is sane, and the rest of the OS can be stupidly insensitive all it wants.

Except, y'know, Steam for Linux.

We're talking about Macs and, last time I checked, Steam won't even install on a case sensitive filesystem on the Mac (or Windows). They have to on Linux—there's no other choice.
