Often. This is one of the things that most irritates me about Plan 9.
In particular, the oft-cited idiom of using tar to copy the hierarchy
is especially undesirable under Plan 9 because it generates lots of
garbage that will fill up your dump filesystem much faster.
To what extent do you think your expectations and habits are shaped by
the limitations of your tools?
