First, many external storage devices come pre-formatted with FAT32. It is not at all a Windows specific F/S. Second, my concern isn't with files I manually name (I'm pretty unlikely to use file names that wouldn't be legal under any OS), but systems that generate files/names automatically. I would find it frustrating to get a big stack of "Are you sure" warnings when copying my maildir files (default storage method for my chosen MUA) to a USB stick.
