Slashes in the Finder will be converted to semicolons in the Terminal and vice versa. In OS 9 days, folders were separated by semicolons whereas in all Unixoid OSes, they use slashes. M$ uses backslashes.
However, you are wrong about one thing: in Unix, you can use "/" in file names, but it makes things cumbersome and often many scripts don't work. So they are practically not used in Linux, etc.
