I dream of one that actually functions reliably. I can't believe
how widely used NFS is, because it is the source of endless problems
for me. I've never seen it work with any kind of reliability at all.

What kind of problems do you see? It can be hard to get firewall openings right and it depends on uid's matching at the client and server for file ownership and permissions, but those things either work right or not at all. You shouldn't see reliability or performance problems unless you have hundreds of busy clients.

One thing I'll say for samba is that the data actually seems to show
up correctly on the other side :-).

Maybe you have serious network problems that tcp retries cover up better. But current nfs versions should default to tcp too.
