>You are arguing "this isn't Unix!!!" but that is the whole point. You can win an argument with a mountain climber by pointing out he is going downhill, but not a skier; since for a skier, going downhill is the point.

Besides Linux is not UNIX either. And it's 2014 already, we found that some UNIX choices (like "don't dictate policy" in X Server were bad) and others led to underpowered tools.

It's not like we're still on text terminals, running 2-3 daemons at most, each with simple needs, and most of our work is constrained in the textual domain.
