It's enough credentials to make your criticisms worth thinking about. It's fascinating how, in a few years, I got so familiar with the commandline and never felt like it was too complicated (although I do almost everything through it), both at work and privately.

Maybe, with a skillset like that, you could just make the things better that you dont like, instead of what looks like "just complaining".

I have in the past implemented my own shell to work around some of the limitations the usual one had.

But today, I feel no real motivation to do so, because I know that if I tried to release this, the main response I would get would essentially be complaints that I shouldn't be changing things. I don't think any attempt to improve things would be accepted, because people refuse to believe there is anything wrong with what we have.

How did you decide what program runs when a user types a command in a directory, without using the concept of a path?
