"UNIX® philosophy" doesn't exist, that is a religion like discussion about UNIX spread by FOSS people while arguing for GNU/Linux with their endless list of command line options.

I use UNIX in various flavours since being introduced to it in 1993 via Xenix, and cannot name a single one where this was ever true.



Well no, it does exist, but not in UNIX itself, in Plan 9.


I never found it there, and even if measures in some strange way to make it true, doesn't seem to have helped Plan 9 adoption.

Commands still have plenty command line configurations for their executions.
