- ams6110 17y agoEven *nix utilities have suffered the feature bloat problem. Many have so many option flags that they exhaust the letters of the alphabet, both upper and lower case, and move into the --wash-my-car-while-you-are-at-it styles. The saving grace is that for the most part, these obscure options are completely out of sight if you don't need them, but they do clutter up the man pages quite a bit.
- pmiller2 17y agoI believe it was Dennis Ritchie who said something to the effect of "Unix bloat began when cat started taking options," or some such.
