I like UNIX, vim and tmux and I agree with you. They're not 21st century tools, but for a lot of tasks, they're the best we've got.

The tools in question, and the OS in question, bear little to no resemblance to unix or its tools. Blaming unix for the monstrosities that it inadvertently spawned isn't really fair.
