Same. Awk and Sed are delightful little tools that have aged exceptionally well.

Other than that, I'm completely shocked that somebody would praise sed or awk in well into the 21st century. Turing-complete languages barely capable of properly solving any problem that has any sort of algorithmic complexity, let alone one that requires proper data types, variables or interacting with any sort of system. Really, you can do that in Perl (even in Raku) without your couple-of-liner horribly breaking down once you need some custom logic to it. Oh, and it will even resemble programming languages, not some hieroglyphs left behind by aliens.
