<html><body><a href="http://www.joelonsoftware.com/">Joel Spolsky</a> has a nice <a href="http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Biculturalism.html">review</a> of Eric S. Raymond's <a href="http://www.faqs.org/docs/artu/" art of unix programming>.
"<quote>When Raymond <a href="http://www.faqs.org/docs/artu/ch05s02.html#id2901882">points out</a> that the CSV format is inferior to the /etc/passwd format, he's trying to score points for Unix against Windows, but, you know what? He's right. /etc/passwd is easier to parse than CSV, and if you read this book, you'll know why, and you'll be a better programmer.</quote>"</a></body></html>
