Well, it all depends on a task at hand. Windows 7 is quite efficient on SSDs for a general purpose system. And NTFS, if properly configured, is at the same level of performance as ext4/btrfs maybe better, at least in my experience.
But if a user needs to take care about read and write cycles for a storage device IMO make the usage of a computer too complicated. This is a task for the FS, the device's controller or whatever.
Or OS :)
How often does we need a log file after a regular shutdown? If you copy them for shutdown, you simply can abandon those files completely.
System logs are always useful and must not be volatile.
Just an opinion, Ralf
