This isn't specific to just BSD and GNU. It's a general problem
attributable to the large number of new programmers who haven't been
mentored by people who understand the elegance of uncomplicated code
and tools. This feeds upon itself, and once it reaches critical mass....
Retreating into plan9 is a way to avoid dealing with this problem, but
if nobody teaches these folks the error of their ways, how can it ever
stop? I don't think most of us have the energy to attempt that any
more. (Or in my case, the patience.)
