I'd present the argument that, once you learn sed, it has the possibility to replace more then just this 'replace' command. If you tend to live a lot on the commandline, you'll naturally start using it where appropriate, and become more familiar. After learning how regular expressions work, it really amazed me how many things I used to think "I'd have to write a script for this", when now I just write a quick line of sed.
