Unix was a couple of guys in an attic. Hack was one guy. Unix was collaborative, personally collaborative between some extraordinary intelligent people. If you read Kernighan's memoir, it talks about the second version problem. Unix solved a problem. GNU solved a problem. Linux solved a problem, and WSL2 solved a problem. Using a hammer to rid your house of ants is a solution, that does not fit the problem. I do not consider a hammer harmful in itself, if its used to drive nails. Everything needs a tersely named tool is outdated, useful for trouble shooting but outdated UX/UI. We need to continue with our tools, and develop them further, but not with extraneous bells and whistles. ( This bit of wisdom came from a 5th grader, who now has a degree in Political Economics, and I do not understand a single thing he says. ) Read Kernighan's memoir.
