Most programmers I know a handful of commands but are not otherwise comfortable with the command line. I was teased for using it at my first software development job. I was once hired to privately tutor a computer science student how to use the command line (among other things) because her school never taught her how to use it and she failed out of her first Systems class due to this omission. I’ve taught basic Unix skills to a friend with a master’s degree in computer science.
I’m focused on Vim for reasons complicated enough to deserve their own separate post and because Vim best illustrates the taboo I’m trying to elucidate.
