It's clear you have a better understanding than i do, I was just following things on the lists, as a user of MacFuse, and yes I did get the feeling somehow that osxfuse was better supported/advanced than osxfuse, but maybe that was just because I followed things mostly from the MacFuse / OSXfuse mailing lists ….

no. tuxera ntfs supplies its own packaged fuse version. I was using osxfuse for a few (mainly macfusion) applications thats yes are quite old but built against the macfuse API, so work with osxfuse but not fuse4x. I am happy enough to switch to using MacPorts sshfs at the command line.

I also do use tuxea ntfs. and yes, I know it is essentially just a nicely packaged version of ntfs-3g… I just personally think it is worth the license, as in my experience ntfs-3g just not work any where near as smoothly out the box as tuxera ntfs. ymmv.
