Many are better. Window NT kernel is quite decent.
I have also use older OS which are also very good:
TiOS was pretty good (Pascal interface).
OS9 was pretty good (C interface).
An OS for a machine called Alpha (no, not DEC Alpha) wasn't
too bad either. Plan 9 looked like it might be OK too.
It's not the Linux kernel that I criticize: I think that's half way reasonable
given the crud it has to implement. But Unix as a whole is full of shit,
which is what you expect when you have historical hacks piled on
historical hacks, especially the C language.
most of the tools are just horrible. A lot of stuff just doesn't fit
together. The file system is a mess: none of the commands to
manipulate it make sense. Sure, cp file1 file2 makes sense but
throw in globs which are crap, and directories, symbolic links,
hard links, and other stuff and the whole thing is an unmitigated
disaster.
Contrast to TiOS. A flat file system. Long file names and a shell
that could do replacements. So
A/B/C
was just a flat filename but B might be replaced if B = FRED in
the environment. So there's no current directory: that's just a
conventional environment variable:
CWD/X/Y

No idea. Not even sure they didn't since I can't see an actual POST line
in the logs due to the problems. I guess so because the diagnostics
emitted only occur after a POST is detected.
BTW: POST is potentially legitimate. I have it in there because the
server supports EDITING files in your web browser with CodeMIrror
and then saving the file back to the server with a POST. The actual
save isn't done at the moment but the POST command is decoded
and processed.
