>its arcane and bizarre command-line syntax

I actually like dd's command-line syntax the most out of the Linux coreutils, and I wish more programs used a similar "key=value" argument system. It's pretty easy to remember too, since there's really only a few keys you need to remember to do 99% of what dd typically gets used for.
