That used to be true back in the 1.x days of Linux (like, 10 years ago), but
nowadays I haven't had much problem with spaces in file names, except in
lazy scripts I've written myself using "$@" and such. (And that's more
because it's easier for me to skip the one-line script than to look up the
proper quoting mechanism to get that in.)
Bash command-line completion, for example, will put quotes around names with
spaces in them. But yes, this wasn't always common, even long after Mac and
Windows commonly used spaces in names.

I ordered stamps from Zazzle that read "Place Stamp Here".
