I'm very glad to see the 'silly' tools there, cut/join/paste/sort/uniq. While I would never build anything 'important' with them, they're an extremely useful tool to have in your toolkit.

Why silly? I use those (especially sort and uniq) all the time, both in my scripts and in command line.

If it's important, then you should use those POSIX tools
