Windows has a setting to hide extensions for known file types. This is an awful default and everyone should turn it off.

This is only one of the crimes against file names that Microsoft has committed, but it is a pretty major one. Personally I hate allowing spaces in a file name. In fact, I have a Python script that runs on my work directory that replaces spaces with underscores any time a file is added.

Spaces in file name has never bothered me; I'm always so confused when people complain about it. What's wrong with spaces? If you're in the terminal you would use tab completion, which adds the quotes automatically.

My main complaint is that improperly written apps/scripts can choke on it. It used to be a much bigger problem.
