The UNIX-HATERS Handbook is an edited compilation of messages to the UNIX-HATERS mailing list. The book was edited by Simson Garfinkel , Daniel Weise and Steven Strassmann and published in 1994 (IDG, ISBN 1-56884-203-1).
The book concerns the frustrations of users new to the then-underdeveloped Unix operating system. Many users had come from systems which were far more sophisticated in computer science terms, and were tremendously frustrated by the worse is better design philosophy that they felt Unix and much of its software encapsulated.
