Eh, GNU Coreutils were used by a huge margin over core Sun tools to do actual work.

Everyone and his aunt used GCC, Bash and GNU utilities. And Emacs.
Even ksh form OpenBSD got autocompletion support. Some features are nice, I guess. And I use mksh myself on Hyperbola GNU/Linux, which mostly blends GNU's openness with BSD's KISS stance.
No SystemD here, not even Pulse. Sndio, the same one as OpenBSD.
On OpenBSD, I love their stance on security and correctness, and ofc I know about pledge(4) and unveil(4). that's why Hyperbola will rebase their Unix-like OS from OpenBSD (minus the blobs) with GNU addons.

- anthk 4y agoIf you think GCC and coreutils didn't change the world and shaped the commercial Unixen themselves, think twice.
