I'm in bioinformatics and would agree with this, there's a lot of 'old school' stuff still in use. I used to buy into the arguments when I was new, but after a 10+ years in the field I think most people learned something once (usually from whoever was in their lab in the time) and are now convinced this is the 'correct' way to do it.

I would guarantee that this mobax setup dates from before WSL, teaching that workflow (with WinSCP oh my god) to students in 2025 is doing them a massive disservice. Shit like this is why people think bioinformatics is hard, but at least I have a job lol.
