I use them on my Windows machine from PowerShell to make using the Windows command line more tolerable.
You can find the GNU coreutils for Windows on sourceforge but it always feels like spyware when I download something from that site, plus I don't know how old they are or if they are actively maintained.
With this rewrite, I like that I can download them from the repo's releases page. There is an issues page for problems and I can see the project is actively worked on.
Installing them as binaries is simple and, this goes for all Rust/Go projects, I actually know how to compile them (sorry, I know C/C++ is great but between gcc||msvc||clang, missing deps, ./configure ./install and make - I rarely have a pleasant experience compiling something in C/C++).
