This shit again? And this time with such a bullshit title... GNU echo simply does a lot more than the other echo implementations. And believe me it's much more useful in daily usage. That's why the GNU tools are so successful. All the minimal (often broken) utilities you had to use on commercial Unices were no fun. So everybody installed the GNU stuff. I use -e and -n options of GNU echo regularly. Even if echo "foo\nbar" | remove-trailing-space | expand-escape-sequence would be the "UNIX way" of doing it. The only thing of poor quality here is the submission title!
