You have every right to blame someone!!! IMHO, the absolute worst feature of FOSS is the love developers have for changing a very round wheel that rolls quite well to something prettier from a design standpoint but less effective and that breaks everything in sight. No one from the kernel to glibc to lowly useful tools like wget is exempt from this mania.
