That&#x27;s a totally fair point. Hey, I never said it was a good article!<p>Perhaps a charitable reading of it would be that instead of reading &quot;unix sucks&quot; (sadly I use almost these exact words in the article) instead read &quot;the mismatch between the tools provided by unix and the needs of a normal user, combined with decisions made with good intentions at the time and kept for backwards compatibility, make the unix user environment a bad user environment for normal people today&quot;.<p>But of course I didn&#x27;t write that, so I&#x27;m in no position to complain too much.
