Well, it's not your problem, but when millions of developers like GNU coreutils over BSD coreutils, then it kind of becomes everyone's problem :-)

There's a reason GNU became popular when there were other tools available before it appeared.

I don't care if they cannot install Gnu/Linux on their machine, but being forced to use a proprietary system like Mac. Not my problem. Don't want bsd-core-utils? Don't buy apple, it's so easy.

And yet they do, by the millions :-) Anyway, I don't really have a bone to pick on this topic.

Yes, it is. They were full of features and that's why they became popular.

Please enlighten us with your rest-of-half-knowledge, otherwise.
