"Live free or die" is a rather fitting motto for Unix as well.
If you don't like somebody's design decision, modify it!
No reason to put up with something you don't like.  Don't like
the standard command interpreter?  Write your own!  Don't like
the editor?  Write your own!  Don't like the spelling checker?
Write your own!  Unix is freedom!
