UNIX and C have truly ruined generations of programmers. Sure they may be practical, but having a world view that this hacky software from the 70s was the pinnacle of good design that should be continued to be emulated is a shame. For some people the way UNIX works is their mental model of how all computing works and they are not willing to accept change to it.
