It might be useful if the above quoted poster gave some details here.
"All the 386 Unix's"?  Specifically which ones has he seen?  What does
"poor quality" mean here, and what symptoms of it do "all the 386
Unix's" display?  Does this include SunOS? AIX? AT&T V/386? ENIX?  SCO?
Interactive? Bell Tech?  Finally, why should we expect GNU to get
"right" whatever it is that all these implementations got "wrong"?
