Hi folk,
I want to propose new idea about names of command line
utilites...
For example, all present utilites have sence just for guru's
(ls, rm,
fsck etc), but for novies it's hard to use.

Less typing, less for novices to forget.

I'm against any change. It makes perfect sense the way it is now. And
it's great for those who use both Linux and Unix because most commands
are interoperable between the two platforms. And beyond that, it's
fast as a result of keeping commands short and easy to remember.
I haven't met a newbie yet that is even interested in learning how to
interact with the command-line. They all seem to be some new breed
migrating from Windows and expecting *nix to operate in a 1:1 manner.
And for those who do want to learn it, do exactly that--learn it. It
just takes time. Be patient.

I think there's more important things to focus on regarding Linux
development.

Basically MS introduced PowerShell to compete with bash and try to give
Windows some flexibility like Linux (The syntax is now almost the same).
Remember this is for power-users, and newbies do not want the hassle of
using the commandline.
Bash is a powerful tool and there maybe some flaws in the way that it
can be used but is it worth a rewrite?
