On: Ask HN: Are there enough utilities in bash now?

[slightwinder]

I don't understand the question. There is no perfection in software.

And what does "utilities in bash" mean? Do you mean features of specifically the bash-shell? Do you mean shell-tools in general? Or shells in general?

[Forgret → slightwinder]

Utilities: ls, cp, grep etc. That is, are they all ideally suited for their purpose or do they have any drawbacks, and are there enough of them Bash Should there be more of them?

> Utilities: ls, cp, grep etc.

These are unrelated to bash. They are just commandline-tools; you can call them from any shell.

> do they have any drawbacks,

They all have their drawbacks, which is why there are constantly new tools, improving that space.
