As I mentioned, there is a BIG DIFFERENCE between OS functionality,
which should ALWAYS be spartan and austere (i.e. aesthetic considerations
do not apply) and OUTPUT.

Proper output formatting, like math "pretty" printing, aids in
comprehension and is NOT purely a matter of aesthetics.

Therefore, my original point remains supremely valid.
Aesthetic concerns are only for stupid cunts.

The case is closed.
