Funny enough, ls is short for list :)



Very true, but it's a well-known command so I wouldn't qualify it as obscure! At this point everyone expects `ls` to display a list of something.


Eye of the beholder. There's a ton of Windows folks that use docker and wouldn't have been exposed to ls before. If they used a command line at all, they're using dir on dos.

Granted, The linux subsystem stuff has expanded it's scope, but there's a few folks I know that have never touched linux and are using docker to run stuff.
