Yup, very odd that the fastest, most versatile systems can be used to make the most useful systems. Some less skilled people may think the language and OS should be more user-friendly but it's odd how user friendliness cuts into performance.Its odd how C and Unix caught on though
also, if one would bother to read the manual, they would see that many Unix commands do have alternative names or you can create them yourself. But, by the time you get that done, you'll have remembered the command.
