Serious alternatives to Samba?

Are there any serious alternatives to Samba, which implement roughly the same functionality?
I've been looking and I'm honestly not sure. It seems like NFS would work in conjunction with regular DNS to provide browsing capability.
Essentially what I'm asking I suppose is, for a kind of theoretical exercise, is is there a network file sharing protocol out there which doesn't chill the blood a bit when you hit enter on a password dialog? Something that implements SSH or the like (I know you can tunnel Samba over SSH but it's not particularly useful).
It just seems to me at the moment that no matter where you go, the end result is installing a Samba network regardless of operating system.
