Find some silly person with an iBook and open a shell on OS X. Use cp
to copy a file with a resource fork. Oh look, the Finder has no idea
what the new file is, even though it looks exactly identical in the
shell. Isn't that _wonderful_? Now try cat < a > b on a file with a
fork. How is that ever going to work?
   

Then I guess OS X ships a broken implementation of cp, yes?

 

Nope, GUI handles it perfectly. it's maybe 0.1% of users of MacOS that acctually care about cp being broken.
