UNIX and C have truly ruined generations of programmers. Sure they may be practical, but having a world view that this hacky software from the 70s was the pinnacle of good design that should be continued to be emulated is a shame. For some people the way UNIX works is their mental model of how all computing works and they are not willing to accept change to it.

Purely from the perspective (my own) that unique/novel mental models are often key drivers of progress, I am very much inclined to agree with you.
