I've been using serial ports on Unix for 35 years, and maintaining
serial drivers for Linux for almost 20. Many days, it seems like the
tty/serial API in Unix is the rug under which all the ugly dirt got
swept...

Then I think about X.

and I guess the networking stuff gets ugly pretty fast when you look
under the hood.

It's really pretty impressive how orthogonal they did manage to make
things.
