Since this community is named leftistunix, I thought to open a discussion about UNIX. not just Linux.

    I live in the Terminal, so all the common command line tools on any of my *nix systems are my lifeblood. I don’t use any graphical or terminal based file manager.

        in that case:

        I use cat from time to time. Vi when it’s installed on a system and I haven’t installed vim or nano yet (e.g. I’m using a BSD and only Vi is installed by default). Ed I have used, but I wouldn’t call it part of my work flow.

        edit: and besides that I use mv, cp, less, ls, du, dd, rm, cd, pwd pretty often

    I use cp, mv, less, ls, rm, cd, pwd, dd, df, sort, nano, top, htop, ssh, ffmpeg, and w3m quite often. P.S. bash is my usual shell, though sh is also fine. I haven’t yet tried fish or anything along those lines yet. I use Debian BTW.

    I usually live inside of the terminal for everything except web browsing, but I’ve traded a lot of exploratory file management for nnn as it makes it a little easier. But I still primarily use the quad of cd, ls, cp, mv for movement.

    I’ve had fun trying out the rust coreutils over the traditional ones: bat vs cat, exa vs ls, dust vs du, and duf vs du are the main ones. And fish is a wonderful interactive shell, although I still try to do scripting in bash (even if it usually turns out that I just go to python for it :P ). Also I’ve decked-out my nvim and doubt I could ever use vi unless it was all I had available.

        I really like them! They’re incredibly performative and come with much nicer syntax and output. fd and rg are huge boosts over find and grep for me.

        There’s a reason why so many of these tools have stuck around or been iterated upon. They’re incredibly useful and have never lost relevancy.
