Personally, I never figured out awk and sed, and only the basics of heel because I’ll just use Perl if I need and if the things those tools do.

You can do cool and complex stuff with it (I have), but it’s really unparalleled for folding, stapling, and mutilating text in a CLI environment.

There’s an obfuscated C contest too - no one ever assumed that K&R opposed highly legible code. I seem to recall that Kerrigan actually wrote some books to the contrary.
