your phrase has nothing to with the paragraph you quoted
UNIX's primary goal was ease (and understandability) of implementation,
even at the expense of performance or capability.
the main idea auf GNU (you know what GNU means?) is a fully open and
controllable system which is defeated by adding more and more complexity in
default installs
GNU's Not Unix -- And, I might add, Linux isn't GNU.
"Complexity" has nothing to do with openness or controllability. Those
exist on different axes, so please stop conflating them.
again: if somebody wants the behavior of OSX he can go out and by an
Apple
machine - guess why i did not switch to Apple from Windows - just because i
don't like the Apple philosophy
Who said anything about OSX or Windows? Please, stick to the subject at
hand.
