Sublime text isn't as featured as Talend tools but it does what it does well and quickly and stays out of my way. Great for loading up a text file, scrolling around, and doing quick find/replaces. Shell scripts using mostly sed and awk go a very, very long way when I want something repeatable or I'm dealing with a lot of data. And, when that starts getting heavy or long and I need more structure, python. GUIs just get in the way in this space. By necessity, they need to be opinionated because there's only so much screen to get around in. They also tend to create artifacts that aren't quick to understand later and are locked into some particular product or way of doing things.
