The UNIX-HATERS Handbook: Two of the most famous products of Berkeley are LSD and Unix. I don’t think that is a coincidence
"The Unix-Haters Handbook" compiles six years of messages from the UNIX-HATERS mailing list, expressing widespread frustration with the Unix operating system. The book covers various aspects of Unix, including its user interface, programming complexities, system administration challenges, and security flaws. It uses a sarcastic and critical tone, highlighting the system's inconsistencies, cryptic commands, and lack of user-friendliness. Contributors include experts and users alike, sharing anecdotes and technical analyses. The book ultimately argues that Unix's success stems from its early adoption and widespread distribution, not its inherent superiority.
