While I can sympathize, does anyone else feel it is odd that we are talking about a Computer Science professor complaining about how basic unix tools work? Sure, they aren't perfect, but I think it is going a bit far to say that CS researchers shouldn't have to understand on the other 99.999% of developers in the world use computers. This feels a bit ivory tower to me.
