Allows read and write access to ext2 partitions....
The idea is to be compatible w/ any arbritrary computer (at a friends house, the library, work laptop), where you may not be able to install additional software. Therefore it's best to stick with a filesystem that's already present on most computers. I believe that udf is almost universal in all current systems.

I'm suprised that udf isn't on more gaadgets, esp since it is more efficient on high capacity media.
