That's a totally fair point. Hey, I never said it was a good article! Perhaps a charitable reading of it would be that instead of reading "unix sucks" (sadly I use almost these exact words in the article) instead read "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". But of course I didn't write that, so I'm in no position to complain too much.
