It's like moving to foreign country and not learning the local language and
customs. I understand using a crutch for the occasional user, which is
what I used when I had to come back to VMS -- I knew enough to be
dangerous, but I made fewer errors if I personally have a cshell not Dave's
Command Language. Or for windows, I dislike, but I can use if I have too,
but I'm happy l to have WSL when I need it.
