I, for one, use long file/dir names (such as these) extensively on my
home OS/2 system.  A short filename scanner (e.g., a DOS-based product
running in a DOS session) would see only a very small portion of my
primary HPFS partition, which has DOS files strewn all over it.  That
is why I use an OS/2-specific product.  Opinion: long filenames is one
of the things that makes HPFS so nice to work with, especially when
combined with a command interpreter that can do name completion.
