Why use U* over VMS

Before you all move over to VMS, happy in the knowledge that it supports
stream linefeed (unix-style) files, beware that the C rtl implementation
of read/write/open/close that works with them is glacially slow. Too slow
to be used (at least for the sort of image processing that I was doing).
I'm supposed to say that this is my humble opinion, which it is. But my
hatred of the VaxMonSter isn't just an opinion, it's the way I am. Sorry.
