gotten used to it? how, exactly, do you determine from your end of the interweb that i, personally, have "gotten used to it", as distinct from having "found that the way unix does things fits my brain well"?

remember, once upon a time, someone sat down and decided that unix was gonna be case sensitive; to that person, the most natural interface was one in which case distinctions were important. it's awfully patronising of you to suppose that that person didn't know wtf they wanted or needed.

but your original point was that "normal" people don't think this way. i'm refuting your misconceived idea that everyone who touches a computer fits your norm.
