I disagree, unstructured text is itself fuzzy. CSV, line delimited, is that unstructured? Further if you wanted to go with JSON or something you can, there's nothing preventing it. Pipes are based on unstructured text so you have that flexibility. If you want to add JSON ls and filter that through JSON sed to JSON less you can. Finally 'the Unix way' is a cultural thing. It isn't set in stone. It can, and probably has evolved. So while you could argue that it meant that to some people at some time, that doesn't make it true today or in the future. The down side is that we have these disagreements over what 'the Unix way' is. But any philosophy that's been around for 40 years, in tech no less, has to be flexible, that's why it's stay relevant.
