Curious: what problems in the GNU userland utilities do the BSD utilities address? (not saying that there aren't any, just that I don't use the BSD stuff any more enough to know -- e.g., it's been about 20 years since I was using "Ultrix" and the like)

I gave one example in a previous post. That isn't the end of the story, but it's a good start. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5640751 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5640751
