I think that's sort of in the grey area. There are also many Hardened
Traditionalists(tm) like myself who don't know perl and have no
interest in learning it because everything they ever need to do can be
handled by sh, awk and sed and they spent many years gaining that
level of proficiency with them. We could color our ls and replace sh
with bash too, but sometimes there's value in retaining the simpler
traditions as you also go forward with the newer tools. :-)
