It is possible that one has a personal preference for GNU. However, it is 
technically impossible for GNU tools, in their current incarnation, to be 
superior. And if you have a whole bunch of professional engineers (me excluded 
this time!) sticking to, developing with, and working on those tools, you ought 
to reconsider why that is so.

ROFL. There are no words sometimes. I'd respond to your points, but
this is a religious argument not a rational one.

No it's not. You came to use (Open)Solaris, then accept the System V ways and 
seek to understand way, don't demand that others adapt to you. If you have a 
problem with that, then go back to Linux and GNU, since that's what you seem to 
prefer.

There is most certainly room for both; however, where they do the same thing, 
*both* are unnecessary. And I for one don't want to be using GNU where I have 
System V tools.

If I wanted to be using GNU, I would still be a Linux system engineer, not a 
Solaris one.
