Comment on Ask HN: What are your favorite UNIX tools?

perl-rename - rename is also good, but much more annoying to use for me as it doesn't use standard regex notation like perl-rename.

printf - shell is natively great at interpolation already, but having C-style printf formatting is often useful and echo has a lot of footguns
