Tell that to the OS vendors. ;)

I think Rev does a fair job of providing an even mix of ease of use with 
flexibility.

If you want line endings converted, either open the file as text or use 
"file" in a URL (e.g. "file:myfile.txt").  This will cause Rev to 
automatically convert the different line endings used by Windows and Mac 
to the Unix convention it uses internally.

If you want to preserve the exact format as it is on disk, then open the 
file as binary or use "binfile" in a URL (e.g., "binfile:myfile.txt").

You can have it both ways, and usually in one line.
