General Unix UNIX was a terrific workhorse for its time, but eventually the old nag needs to be put out to pasture. David Chisnall argues that it's time to retire UNIX in favor of modern systems with a lot more horsepower. "UNIX has a lot of strengths, but like any other design it's starting to show its age. Some of the points listed in this article apply less to some UNIX-like systems, some apply more."

I stopped reading somewhere on page 2.

What an idiot, ssh supports tab completion?

What he actually said was that zsh provides tab completion for scp. And it does, I just checked.

Type: scp localfile user@remotehost:
Then press tab. It prompts you for a password and then lists / on the remote host.

So who's an idiot?

Just to point out, it actually says zsh, but the text is almost too small to read properly and zsh does support all the features he talks about.
