The biggest argument (which was reasonable) was Unix command, sometimes

That's modest (especially now that tar accepts "-" before the key)

to remembering when to use -F, when to use -d, and when to use -t to
specify the field separator, and when you are stuck without a field
separator option; also what the default is with no option (I'd prefer
"arbitrary amount whitespace" in all cases, but that's often not available
at all). These inconsistencies still piss me off no end.
