Unix, however, as you will know if you've ever used it as a command line implementation, is a main frame OS of the old style -- cryptic commands, a hangover from when using whole words would eat up your disk or memory space,
No. Try a 110 baud ASR-33 teletype for I/O. Slow, and noisy, and a real beast to type on with long-throw buttons and absolutely no key rollover. (If you attempt to type too fast it will jam your fingers.) I spent time that way in the beginning, and all the terseness of traditional Unix is absolutely understandable (and forgivable) to me.
