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.

Same. I interact with too many machines, many of which are ephemeral and will have been reprovisioned the next time I have to interact with it.

I value out of the box stuff that works most everywhere. I have a fairly lightweight zsh config I use locally but it’s mostly just stuff like a status like that suits me, better history settings, etc. Stuff I won’t miss if it’s not there.
