Let's have this new, wonderful thing or set of things up and running before we retire what we've got, eh?

We can't, because nobody will even consider giving anything new a chance if it is not Unix.

So you propose what, that the industry as a whole voluntarilty re-enters the dark ages by throwing away its current crop of systems with no replacement in sight ?!

It looks to me like our current crop of unix derivatives and unix-likes is catering for a lot of needs very well. We have windows which is non-Unix.

I think the onus is on you to show that something else could be better, and better enough that the pain of relearning would be worth it.

We are in a dark age at the moment, is what I am saying, and I think we should be working at getting out of it.
