Fair point. I don't disagree. I personally just like to stay as close to default GNU/Linux tooling as is practical. It's a matter of personal taste.

For me, this makes it so my expectations and muscle memory transfer cleanly between my workstation and other servers, devices, etc. I find the default tools are much more powerful than is often understood, and you can replicate most third party functionality fairly easily. That's not always the case mind you, and I happily use those tools.
