This is one of the joys of command line tools.

They almost never stop working on you, and are far easier to maintain cross platform.

Using the same thing on Mac at work and Linux at home is a joy.

Increasingly, I actively try to use the command line approach to all my software. Not because it's better (often it... isn't. FFmpeg is actually remarkably annoying for example), but it's bloody reliable.

This is one of the joys of command line tools using fossilized UNIX APIs, that is.
