   The real problem is that people who learn a cryptic and inconsistent
   syntax then think of that example for thir own designs.

   So we get new stuff that with late 1960's interfaces, despite all the
   research and work done since then on man-machine interaction.

   And then I run into some programmer who's proud of knowing all
   the trivia needed to use some late 1960's tool, like it makes him
   special or something.
