Why you are sorry? It may be any reason like for example it is
corporate policy. Like: "Open source? NO!" People using awful things
like MS Source Safe code repository because of such evil fate forces
them are not unheard of. What makes me suspidous is that 2% (one from
50?) who somehow can use Unix tools.
I still didn't get the point from the last round: what is supposed to be so
compelling about the unix toolbox on windoze?
I view it as leftovers from evolution. And they are IMO like the
std::string, generally awful in every way, but it can be expected to exist
in many basic configurations, also you can expect familiarity.
But if a particular environment has *better* stuff? Even if not better,
just more native, should win over, it capable to do the job.
Does using Borland's version of grep on DOS counts as using a unix tool? Or
more interestingly, what about using 'find in files' from Total Connamder?
Or even better: that in Visual Studio?
If Alf counts the last one IN, then there's harly much to talk about. If it
is OUT, I'm interested why would using the suboptimal version count as sign
of incompetency.
(The mentioned toolset was borb what, 25 years ago? Hope no one believes
there are no better alternatives emerged for any particular workflow on any
platform widely used by programmers...)
