Everything he said, I agree wholeheartedly.

What's better than Unix and addresses all of his 10 points, /prog/?

His Small Tools, Not Small Libraries example is awful; if every program had to do its own wildcard expansion, globbing just wouldn't have happened in any but a very few programs.
Programs that don't want wildcard expansion can use a separate syntax or insist on explicit escaping, like find. The fact that so few do shows why this should be the shell's business.
