Yes, I completely agree: that's the "ignore the VMS fanboys" part. It's a very good resource, but a rather uncritical collection of criticisms - some highlight important deficiencies, some highlight alternative implementations, some of it is out-of-date (most unices are quite stable nowadays), and some are just plain ignorant. I recall the chapter on X being rather sensible, but I don't exactly love X either. Maybe that coloured my perception.
