A comment on Moreutils – Unix tools that nobody thought to write (2012). Parent comment
Not all Unix tools are simple. E.g. make. But I know what you mean - the Unix philosophy.

The TAOUP book by Eric Raymond (The Art Of Unix Programming) has a lot about that.

And my IBM developerWorks tutorial / case study on Developing a Linux command-line utility (in C) may be of interest to people who want to write their own Unix tools that play well with others.
