One of the overarching reasons I hate Mac OS X is that the Unix side 
is so fucked up. This is, of course, because (as I understand it, 
anyway) it's actually pretty much NeXTstep (NeXTSTEP? I forget the 
wacky capitalisation) all the way down, with a thin veneer of FreeBSD 
fileutils. (Unless you're me, and you install GNU's fileutils 
instead, because you're the sort of idiot that likes software to do 
-h style numbering for you rather than comparing the lengths of 
numbers and trying to put the commas in 4,933,124,436 bytes in in 
your head.)

The other overarching reason I hate Mac OS X is, naturally, that the 
Mac side is so fucked up.
