It *is* somewhat annoying and inconsistent that 0 == success for

Not really inconsistent ... programs return an error code, with 0
representing "no error" and all non-zero (or 'true', if you like)
values meaning "there was an error" (and also telling you which one).
The semantics are consistent if you think them through.
