I agree we're talking past each other somewhat, but it really feels to me like you're missing the point. Here's the convo:
mg: This is a great example of how useful the File System Access API is ...
auggierose: the API is not supported (yet?) either by Safari or Firefox
you: describes the current situation with cross-browser file input support, says it's a "developer education problem"
me: this specific use case really does need the full API
It read to me, and still does read to me, like you were saying that Kinlan's use of FSA was hubris.
Boy, this has been a really fun and rewarding experience.
> I agree we're talking past each other
You're exactly half right.
Let's make this dead simple: does anyone need any of these new APIs to compute the SHA-2 hash for a file? A simple answer will do. Simple, non-evasive, no "look thither" misdirection.
