It is sad that most are not comfortable with command line tools.  I'd 
list awk and perl near the top of my "must have" tools for work.  I 
can't imagine getting the job done without a decent computing 
environment (i.e. if I were forced to use windows).  But then again, I 
also realize that my view is biased by the types of projects I work on.
