Do a google search for "The Art of Unix Programming", read through the first half of the book, then reflect on your statements...  While they are not wrong, the intent behind them seems misplaced (my personal take on this, though I haven't been following the thread).

In "The Art of Unix Programming", you get an interesting history on WHY various OS's are the way they are, as well as the philosophy behind coding styles.  Something I think we should all consider (myself included - there's always room to grow).

Now, that said, this topic sounds like it should be on cf-community.....
