Comment (by jdgrimes):

 Thanks for alerting me to this ticket @mnelson4. I'm not sure that I even
 knew that `WP_Filesystem_MockFS` existed when I created my version of
 this.

 The reason that I didn't attempt to use vfsStream was that I actually
 didn't care about ownership/permission stuff, and handling users and
 groups in vfsStream seemed complicated. I think vfsStream also had some
 limitations in regard to the number of users and groups as well.

 So, currently https://github.com/JDGrimes/wp-filesystem-mock doesn't
 bother with ownership at all, but support could probably be added easily.

 I don't know what all of the pros and cons are of using this approach as
 opposed to VFS, but obviously my approach will only work when
 `$wp_filesystem` is used—any direct use of functions like `file_exists()`
 that would normally work when using VFS wouldn't work (since there is no
 virtual filesystem, the "filesystem" is just a bunch of nodes in an
 array). (vfsStream actually also has the
 [https://github.com/mikey179/vfsStream/wiki/Known-Issues same issue with
 some functions].)
