Some cool things here but in general I like to learn and use the standard utilities for most of this. Main reason is I hop in and out of a lot of different systems and my personal aliases and scripts are not on most of them.

sed, awk, grep, and xargs along with standard utilities get you a long long way.

I totally agree with this, I end up working on many systems, and very few of them have all my creature comforts. At the same time, really good tools can stick around and become impactful enough to ship by default, or to be easily apt-get-able. I don't think a personal collection of scripts is the way, but maybe a well maintained package.
