Around 10:35pm on Wednesday, March 09, 2011 (UK time), Tim scrawled:
I don't think that the few dogmatic users of computers outnumber
the
great masses of ordinary, less computer literate, users who expect that
FILENAME=filename. Partly because that's what they're used to, and
partly because in human terms, most languages are verbal, and what's
said aloud is what it is, no matter how it's written.
Surely these vast numbers of "less computer literate" will not be using
the command line, but will use a GUI instead?
The command line is powerful, and can be dangerous if used carelessly
or with ignorance.
