I know lists like this will almost always contain at least one command that I, or any other sys admin on here, would use fairly regularly. But it would be nice if just once an article about "obscure" CLI commands didn't include stuff that's the most basic of essential every day staples for any *nix administrator.

Including stuff like vi and emacs is just ridiculous, quite frankly. If you haven't heard of them already then you really have no place in the command line, let alone reading a document like this.

Most of these types of articles should be rebanded as "beginners cheat sheet for handy command line tools" or just not written to begin with (because, frankly, they're just repeating all the same recommendations as every other article like this that pops up each week and few of them have any descriptions that are accurate either).

Maybe my job this weekend will be to write my own version of these documents but with a decent selection of programs, descriptions and example usages?
