You should believe it, I'm asking seriously. You are targeting wrong people. These people (Linux users) already switched their OS, they know what it means. They did that from many reasons. And I'm not sure they did it for sudo, color GNU ls etc... I'm not against fixing bloody userland, I'm against just clonning GNU world and tools duplications, hidding benefits and overtaking mistakes. GNU is not perfect world and I'm not sure if it is better than Solaris world. I started with GNU/Linux as my main OS around 1996 and left it a year ago... So that, yes, we should invest more to our userland, but not just duplicating it from some source if we have better tools already, just with different "interface". Teach, not mimic. Solaris should be better than GNU, not just GNU. Find benefits, implement them, of course. But what is the benefit of sudo against our tools, except Linux users friendly interface?
