In general, I think its great. nothing is perfect and we should always strive to make things better. That's open source. Coreutils are great, but I think there will come a time when it will e replaced with more feature rich utils while still remaining small.

Funnily enough, I have exa aliased to lsd. I just like the colours and I don't really need the icons like in lsd.

I use bat also, but I didn't alias cat to bat because on xterm, If I need to select/copy multiple lines from a file I need to use cat because bat includes the line numbers.
