随着时间的推移，程序会获得重叠的功能
Piping the output of a simple shell command to another shell command is easy. But as tasks become more complex, more and more work goes into preparing the output of one program to be the input of the next program. Users want to be able to do more in each program to avoid having to switch to another program to get their work done.
将简单的shell命令的输出传递到另一个shell命令很容易。但是随着任务变得越来越复杂，准备一个程序的输出作为下一个程序的输入的工作也越来越多。用户希望能够在每个程序中执行更多操作，以避免不得不切换到另一个程序来完成工作。
An example of the opposite of the Unix philosophy would be the Microsoft Office suite.
与Unix哲学相反的一个例子是Microsoft Office套件
Office users are grateful for the redundancy.
