Lot of time spent in my teens on FreeBSD. Though I primarily use MacOS now all those non-GNU command line switches stuck.

- ComputerGuru 7y agoI can't tell if you were trying to say this or not, but the default unix utils on macOS and FreeBSD generally share the same (non-GNU) switches/options as macOS's were derived from the BSDs.
- mbreese 7y agoI’ll answer for them. Yes, they were saying that knowing all those BSD/non-GNU options front their BSD days stuck in their mind and are quite useful when working on a Mac today. It’s better than having to mentally switch between Linux/macOS arguments in your head like many of us have to (like me)!
