  My objections are technically motivated and documented.

  Yours are neither.

  Your own failures at using modern tools and your personal preferences
are not technically compelling reasons to consider outdated and
deprecated commands anything different than what they are.

  They surely are, and Rick and myself provided with links to document
this and a list of shortcomings that plague those commands.  You failed
at documenting anything technical to prop up your personal convictions.

  Again, your failure/unwillingness at learning modern tools does not
make them bad and does not make deprecated and obsolete commands modern
and up to date.

  It's not just that I think they are.  They are considered to be that
way by an overwhelming majority of Linux developers and sysadmins.

  Still nothing technical about how those commands could be considered
anything different than obsolete and deprecated.  You only have your
personal convictions to show.
