Thats exactly what I mean. I dont care about Posix or the whining about "anti-features". The BSD stuff is a clear subset that doesnt get the job done.
Posix is more an art form documenting the far gone past rather than a practical tool
What are some GNU coreutil extensions that you find you can't live without?
The conventions for the long parameters on the command line.
Dunno, since learning Xenix in 1993, I got plenty of work done in UNIX clones.
"[Doesn't] get the job done"? Well, it gets my job done. You are welcome to use whatever you subjectively prefer (I use GNU's date(1) for a few scripts, but would prefer the English date grammar parsing as a tool of its own), but if you are unable to talk about anything in concrete terms there is not point in trying to discuss in good faith and I will just roll my eyes and move on.
