Portable along architectures - no thanks? Portbale along different devices and device driver implementations - no thanks? Not to mess with hardware with preassumtptions how it works - no thanks? Giving PC vendors a chance to get rid of silly legacy hardware - no thanks? Abviously documented by beeing there - no thanks? Just one case in switch statement + few bytes for copy from user and stuff - no thanks? Actual hardware functionality abstraction - no thanks? Operating system - no thanks?
*BUT* filesystems attached to /dev/ nodes - NO THANKS indeed!
