What is it with ln? 20+ years using it and I still have to read the man page every single time. Whenever I try to do without I always end up with red links

Yes, same here! Even after reading the docs I still get it around the wrong way.

I wonder why it's so hard to internalize?

Might be because it's the opposite of cp and mv? I have the same problem with it.

edit: even worse, I thought it was opposite, but it actually isn't! memetic effect?
