Everyone(new to bsd tools) is annoyed by that. This will get me many downvotes but the BSD community embraces elitism,this is part of that "if you can't be bothered to learn your shell's shortcuts to move to the desired position immediately then you're not elite enough for bsd" or something on that line...
- asveikau 8y agoI don't know if it's elitism, but I would say using *bsds over the years has made me embrace minimalism a bit, and write shell scripts that make fewer assumptions and work in more places. There is value in that, I think. I still prefer gnu make though.
- fabiomaia 8y agoI'm interested, can you elaborate on how your shell scripts now make fewer assumptions? And why do you prefer GNU make specifically?
