When it comes to Unix, history and the present are one and the same. We have been locked into the same model, the same OS, for decades now. Unix is being developed through small, incremental changes on top of a base that is massively out of date in 2019.

We appreciate history far too much. Unix is holding computing back, and it needs to go. It served its purpose, but it's done. It represent very few of the things that are important to computers in 2019, and it actively hinders many of them.

Unix needs be respectfully let to go into retirement, and new things given a chance to replace it finally.

[Nursie]

Let's have this new, wonderful thing or set of things up and running before we retire what we've got, eh?

[DagAgren]

We can't, because nobody will even consider giving anything new a chance if it is not Unix.

[Nursie]

So you propose what, that the industry as a whole voluntarilty re-enters the dark ages by throwing away its current crop of systems with no replacement in sight ?!

It looks to me like our current crop of unix derivatives and unix-likes is catering for a lot of needs very well. We have windows which is non-Unix.

I think the onus is on you to show that something else could be better, and better enough that the pain of relearning would be worth it.

[DagAgren]

We are in a dark age at the moment, is what I am saying, and I think we should be working at getting out of it.
