"Life would be a lot easier if we could live in a Linux-only world"
No it wouldn't. We need diversity to open our minds to different ways of doing things. And there are some things (systems with more than 64 cpus, for example) for which Unix is still better than Linux.
What we need is clear, open, documented file formats. We have that for the simple ascii files which this article covers, but not for many other kinds of file.
