Going beyond 'cat -v considered harmful',

with syslog, cron, init, and who knows what else, being replaced with
systemd and journald. This doesn't even cover how vim has become way more
than just a GNU re-implementation of vi.
I'm not thrilled with the systemd stuff either, I still don't see that it is
solving anything that wasn't solved. But somebody must like it, it's a big
change.
vim, on the other hand, oh do I love me some vim. It's pretty faithful to
the original vi but you get split windows, infinite undo, it remembers
stuff from one invocation to the next, it's pretty sweet.
