Most of them that I do use; sed, awk, even perl. I don't bust them out often, but when I do most of what I need is pretty "front of mind".
I'm not asserting it's necessarily a tool issue vs a "me" issue, but jq, parallel, and pandoc (although pandoc the least of these) just don't "click" with me, and even if I use them multiple times a month I have to go back to previous commands, --help, or man pages routinely.
