Why the hell should I, because you say so and it's some sort of silly-ass rite of passage to learn it? There are a million other alternatives out there. Sorry I'm being something of a grouch, but I hate this fanatic type crap, and will NEVER be one of those *nix users who think their OS is the only one worth using and get on everyone else's case who uses another OS.
