On the other hand, we don't have to run our own daemon, which is something of an advantage and makes a lot of things easier.

Both inotify and FSEvents *require* a persistent process to receive notifications. I'm sure the Windows API does, too.

The advantage of the FSEvents API is that we *don't* need a persistent process to receive notifications :) If we're reading raw events from the /dev/fsevents, then we'd need a daemon though.
