Which is not to say there aren't things I like about unix. The ability to chain commands through pipes is very useful (assuming that the program is pipe-friendly), and the syntax for directories in unix feels more comfortable than the same syntax in VMS and both are by far much better than the hot mess which is the DOS/Windows shell.
