Ah, the joys of *nix. It would seem that doing the same thing in Windows requires not only additional (not included) tools but more than one as well.

I can't tell you the number of times I've been trying to manage files in Finder, run into an error and drop to the CLI to "make things right." This is why I love OS X - everyday ease of use combined with that Unix power I love.
