Don't get me started on the "ip" command, it's as unnatural as a suite
of office applications that all integrate. (Apologies to Dilbert).

I hate the route command, it's like having the worst of the "net"
command from Microsoft on Linux, the commands to do things are in
english language, sort of, and it takes me longer to remember english
than geek.

Our SUSE engineers think "ip" is the cat's behind, so all our courseware
(well, the stuff that I didn't write, that is) has little shrines
everywhere to "ip".

Sigh.
