Perspective depends on experience.

AFS has its warts, but, trust me, if you've used it for a while,
you will not find yourself excitedly perusing the volume location
database to see where your bits are coming from.  In fact, you
generally will not notice when your volume moves from one server
to another, even if you are reading from and writing to it at
the time.
