True UNIX Confession: I secretly think people who don’t know how to use xargs must be UNIX novices.

@bsdunix4ever :( Some of us predate those fancy things - like when "find" was quiet unless you said "print", and when find -exec was all you needed. And yes, I did my assignements in 'ed'.
@bsdunix4ever OTOH I was told that the fluency of my find ... -print0 | xargs -0 grep ... was a bad sign
@bsdunix4ever GNU find does the '-print' anyhow. Solaris and aix find doesn't iirc
