People with money and ears choose tape. People lacking either one of those go digital;-)
Tape is far from dead, the worst that could happen is that digidesign buy them out. Then it would be time to "emerge ardour", and you know what; with my CFLAGS I'm willing to bet it whips PT on a similar specced machine...
Shell scripting is a godsend, if UNIX had an easier, more powerful scripting language as standard that would create problems. Take a look at Perl's CPAN or PHP's PEAR to get an idea how many convoluted OO ways people could blow their own legs off trying to 'fix' things that were never broken to begin with!
Also/etc has never been a problem for me, other systems have. Before someone mentions it, XML is to the/etc partition as cancer is to lung.
1) The sending and recieving process don't need to know about each other before hand 2) You can easily broadcast events to all listeners 3) Much easier to send arbitary data 4) Much easier to manage; no need to mess with sockets APIs 5) Much safer; no need to share memory between process.
Here's some potential problems with that:

The are very simple, very straighforward, but that makes them useless for proper security because they're too simple.
In your world security may be achived by making things complicated, but most people would disagree.
If you think that ACL's have no advantage over POSIX permisions you're wrong a second time on this.
ACL's have no advantage at system level on MY SYSTEMS! They do make sense on larger systems and they have been availiable for those that need them. Using ACL's just to work around SUID isn't a great solution either, as much as it sucks.

See them? I don't
Not only that but if you use gentoo with the correct CFLAGS, you can find security holes upto 20% faster.
on my gentoo box. Gentoo makes the film sooo much faster, you hardly notice the additional footage at all.
Gentoo makes this easy as, "emerge nvidia-kernel" and all you have to do is spend a full weekend configuring and compiling your linux system first.
What's not to like?
We gentoo users are going to get the better frame rates if 3d multiplayer ever takes off on linux.
