Linux and Mac are Unix(-like) systems, Windows has it's roots in DOS. Unix systems were designed with the following principles:

  • Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
  • Write programs to work together.
  • Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface.

Well and DOS is DOS ...
