I got the opinion that it was written by people who grew up on even
older OS's, and were still miffed that UNIX caught on big and ITS died
off.  Ie, "we were using this cool feature for years, but UNIX doesn't
have that feature and we still miss it."  I think that for a vast
majority, UNIX turned out to be much more liberating than what they
were used to, whereas there was a sizeable group where UNIX was more
confining.  (of course, a lot of the stuff in the book appeared to
be just sour grapes and complaints that it isn't newbie friendly
and such)
