Weirdly, I recently switched to Perl as a replacement for awk and sed, enjoying actual Perl regexps and very similar syntax for 1 liners.

I’ve had to deal with sed not accepting the same flags depending on systems and weird awk version too. At least it’s more consistent with Perl (which also happens to be installed by default).

Am I the only one?
