Good examples of "old" tools that are still heavily used. I see them often enough in "modern" build and deployment pipelines that manage our cloud services where I work.

We do tend to remove them in favor of python scripts once things get a bit complicated to make maintenance a bit easier.... bash/sh scripts using sed & awk expressions can grow over time to take on a life all of their own!
