> For the first time ever I had to deal with xargs and find together last week. Bear in mind I've been using Unix for about 20 years now.

I'm really curious about this. Do you have a very specific workflow that gets around that need or an alternative that would replace find + xargs? Is your job pretty niche? It just seems like I _need_ it a few times a week minimum, and I'm not really sure what would replace it off the top of my head.

I do agree on powershell being quite slick. Sometimes finding what I want is a process, but so was unix in the beginning.
