I still do this too and critically speaking, Windows 8.1 and under still can't mount NFS.

Windows 10 can.. now. But even then, SMB (Samba) Or just a real Windows AD server have many more ACL controls whereas my NFS shares only have an /etc/exports entry and optional squashing to certain users.

You can't get as complex with NFS without some sort of ACL stuff for say.. a workplace.

But NFS is very good for single mode operations, like an export of qcow2/img files for your hypervisor to read. Or an export for your torrent box to write to, each with their own permission squashing arguments for security on the destination box.

But for something like staff management, what dirs let you go where, SMB (Or a real AD box with Inheritance disabled and proper group management) is where it's at.
