Awk automatically operates on every line of a text file, so you can easily use it as part of a pipeline in Linux. I'll usually use grep, cut, sort, and awk all together with one line of code and no need to open an editor. Python takes a lot more code to do these basic things. However, Python is much better once the complexity grows past a certain point.
