I feel we're witnessing a resurgence of interest in 'nix default programs such as sed and awk in part because LLMs make it so much easier to get started in them, and because they really do exist everywhere you might look. (The fact they were designed to be performant in bygone decades and are super-performant now as a result is also nice!)
I do use shell scripting much more than before as it is so easy to write it with the help of an LLM.
Same with regex commands within vim.
I used to use them a lot at some point, switched to python for a lot of little tasks, but now slowly getting back to those nex default programs.
