Truth is that Unix has a very good design for an operating system, that gained large popularity, and will be in widespread use throughout the foreseeable future, because of the superiority of its machine model and design.
No matter how many blog posts there will be to try to diminish it into an operating system for some religious cult, and weirdos. It is still the best platform. I hope that many more users will benefit from it in the future, as the philosphy behind it is so much more user friendly, and practical than most other Operating Systems. Read me right, I am talking about having Unix in the core of the OS here, not just to present a user with a shell.

yes thinking abotu it a bit more the unix schisms remind me of the emo philips sketch about religion..
Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"
He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"
He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"
Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.
Day 1: Edison invents electricity
Day 2: Atari invented Pong
Day 3: Intel invented the CPU
Day 4: IBM invented the PC
Day 5: Bill Gates gave birth to Windows
Day 6: Al Gore invented the internet
I think I've found a plot hole! And we all know there were none of those in the original 7 day creation story.
Chronologically, at least, Intel's first commercial processor was in 1970 but Pong was released in 1972.

Brian: Stewie, you're judgmentally quoting bible verses and you don't even know how to read! Stewie: Welcome to America, Brian.
Unix people love to go on and on about Unix...that's the take away message.
Also, what would Hindu be in this worldview? It's older, and more people "use" it and its decedents than Unix.
