NTFS driver is incomplete and doesn't support all needed features.
May I ask what needed features do you mean? We are not aware of nor were reported any, and other software sure work fine with the NTFS-3G driver.
The most common Wine problems are documented at http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#wine
It can be summarized as either not using the 'exec' mount option, or not using at least Linux kernel 2.6.26-rc1 which added support for shared writable mmap what some Windows software need.

You're correct. I was basing that off features that have since been implemented. The fact remains that the filesystem is often misconfigured, either in fstab or because of an outdated kernel. Didn't mean to sound accusatory to NTFS-3G.
