- icy 6y agoNobody I know does. So not a great argument, really. BSD coreutils are fantastic.
- pwdisswordfish4 6y agoBSD utils balk if you get the order of command-line switches "wrong" (an attribute shared with the Git CLI). The time wasted dealing with that alone is worth installing the GNU utils.
- Shared404 6y agoWhy would you install GNU coreutils on a BSD? Isn't the whole point that it's an integrated project?
- bonzini 6y agoFor example because BSD POSIX utilities lack some particular flag that you want.
