I consider it a bug that programs are picky about file extensions.
There was a time when the Mac OS didn't care about file extensions. The filesystem had a type and a "creator code" in the filesystem metadata, hidden from the user. The user had complete control over the entire filename.
A database was used to store the association between creator codes and applications, so that double-clicking a document would open it in the right application.
But when Apple bought NeXT from Steve Jobs, the Cocoa framework that became Mac OS X knew nothing of types and creator codes. Now the Mac is borked in the same way windows is.
