Can we have an anniversary addition of these? I miss these... I mean they only happened at least once a day in Mac OS Classic. I know most of you are Mac OSX+ junkies, and never saw these.

That was an interesting conversation. He simply could NOT believe that it was not necessary.
So, the short version is: yep, you're right. He's doing it as a cargo cult, not because it makes sense. Windows still has a defrag UI, but it's somewhat hidden, and it's mostly a mock at this point. Like, on SSDs, there's not much of a point. Given the wording, it might actually run TRIM instead. Even Microsoft seems to be thinking, "why do we have a UI for this at all any more?". And, of course, HFS+ had adaptive hot file clustering, essentially a "defrag frequently used files" mechanism.

But… APFS defaults to not having defragmentation on. Again, this doesn't really matter on SSDs, but the answer seems to be more complicated for HDDs.

Glancing over at my bookshelf with the OpenDoc books, I can smell the box StuffIT came in.
