What Syn said. I have in the past worked in hetrogenous environments where in some cases you might only have the basic BSD 4.x or SysV tools. It was an absolute necessity to know the long way, and they're so deeply ingrained in my case that I still use some of them even though I know there are easier alternatives. There is also the advantage that the standard utilities have well-specified, -understood and -documented behaviors.

As I was working on Unix systems years as far back the 1980s (microVAX running 4.2BSD IIRC) I defy you to call me a noob. Tongue
