You could just click on them and be there. Imagine how crazy that would be.

These things wouldn't go away if the EU or a company within the EU would provide a phone OS.

They would just serve different masters.

And you show up with a study.

Sorry but I had to point this out.

It's not all people, but always people.

1. Things have developed over time. Bash and other shells weren't always this way. If you have ever touched different shells, awk, sed and so on and then touch perl you see how it is basically just the glue between the other tools put into one language.

2. The majority of scripts is written in sh or bash. So these shells won't go away anytime soon and any newcomer will be confronted with them. So it's best to know all the edge cases before you do stuff you don't want to do. And yes, you could always install another shell. But that brings another dependency and opens up another can of worms. In professional environments it's not really an option to have the next exotic language.

It's like having a tmux.conf on your local machine that configures tmux exactly the way you want it. Nice to have but the moment you touch any of the other billions of systems out there that run the default configuration, you might be lost because you never learned the default and only use your modified version.

In the end Word & co are nothing else like fancy browsers rendering the file's contents.

As we all know from the early days of the Interwebz, each engine renders it differently...

Three years later the car manufacturers sold the plant to China for another 10 billion...

You're not 18 yet?

No Problem we just give you two certs with different valid from/to ranges that overlap and don't give away your birthday.

Problem solved.
