zsh% rm **/*.txt Want to chase symlinks? zsh% rm ***/*.txt Only those older than 7 days? zsh% rm **/*.txt(m+7) Want to not have to worry about the length of argv? (Thank you, Unix) zsh% zmodload zsh/files zsh% rm **/*.txt zsh% type rm rm is a shell builtin Now, that's not to say zsh is sweetness and light. It tends towards being write-only. There are ... a plethora of options. But it's less hate-worthy than the alternatives (and fairly easy to hack on to reduce hate).
