NTFS is a quite decent filesystem – even more so when it was introduced – and there is a lot to be said for having a one standard.
But would you really want to work with FAT or even exFAT as your main OS? It's about 20% slower and doesn't support ACLs or journaling, so you can lose data in a crash.
So filesystems matter and Linux still doesn't have a standard choice that's as good as other OSes had 5 years ago.
