Red Hat Nullifies Differences Between Bash, Csh 521
Andreas(R) writes "Red Hat Software has revealed that future versions of the distribution will hide the differences between command-line user interfaces, creating a 'more unified shell prompt experience'. 'I don't mind if they rebrand and unify the GNOME and KDE interfaces,' said one Linux longhair. 'Frankly, I rarely use GUIs. But when they start messing with my CLI, then it's personal. I'm not going to sit here and let Red Hat infect my beloved tcsh with those annoying quirks from bash." Ah, nothing like satire that only a small group will truly grok. *grin*

If you dont like what Red Hat do then don't use their sodding distribution. There are plenty of other people out there who appreciate that Red Hat are interested in making the Linux experience as easy as possible for newer users, rather than confusing the hell out of them.
Lord knows they pump enough cash & resources into the community, and all people do is bitch about em.

Maybe the reason everyone is looking up vi on google is because it is so *intuitive* and *easy-to-learn*?
