Still using these obsolete Linux commands? They might be popular from the olden days but perhaps it is time to look for alternatives.

Why did they even get rid of the net-tools stuff? Since everyone is still using them why not just bring them back? I don’t see how they can be a security issue. When I set up a new distro one of the first things I do is install it again.
Even the article says that the reason scp is so popular is that it copies the cp syntax. Why constantly force people to relearn jobs they already know how to do?
Rustscan is supposed to be so much faster than nmap but I still use nmap because I can’t be bothered learning another tool. Just use the same syntax for gods sake.
sometimes syntax changes are part of the decision to do a rewrite. these are user interfaces at the end of the day. i’m not saying you’re wrong about any particular case, but it’s like saying “why make Instagram when Facebook exists” or “why make Scala when Java exists” etc. i like a good fresh look at how we use and instrument and teach our development tooling.
also, when i was 18 and would tell IT professionals i was getting a computer science degree, the #1 response was, “get ready to spend the rest of your life learning new things.” and i’ve found that to largely be true
