- int_19h 7y agoThe vast majority of users never even see the command line - why should they be dealing with the limitations imposed by it?
- enriquto 7y agoThese users would never notice if their filenames are encoded using one type of space or the other inside the filesystem. That's a win-win!
- pjmlp 7y agoOnly for tools that are stupid for not being able to handle any kind of filename.
- enriquto 7y agoYes, like filenames with multiple dots, for example. I agree that filesystems must allow almost arbitrary filenames. But some characters should definitely be forbidden, like '/', '\n' and ' '.
