This is the GNU in GNU/Linux :) I really like GNU coreutils, and other basic GNU utilities like GNU sed, find, and awk. I know some BSD folks see them as ‘bloated’ and ‘non-standard’, but to me they're plenty fast and they feel complete. When I used macOS for a while for a job, it surprised me how much I'd come to rely on the features and behavior of certain GNU utilities that are apparently peculiar to them. But I miss 'em when they're gone.
