>To all the Unix shell critics: don't try to argue that writing a 173-line js script is "simpler" than learning 3 find options (-type -name -exec), the bang(!) 'not' operator in find, and 2 sed options (-r -i).
In the context of discussing the open-sourcing of the script, the issue isn't really whether or not writing the JS is simpler than learning "3 find options", it's whether using the JS is simpler than learning "3 find options".
