This blog post is a really good summary of various CLI utilities that are (arguably) a step up from #linux builtins. There are several in there that I use, along with several that I decided that were overcomplicated, and a couple I hadn't heard of and want to look into. https://remysharp.com/2018/08/23/cli-improved

I'd really like to experiment more with those CLI improvements but most of my CLI time is spent either on machines I can't randomly install new stuff on or on machines where I don't even have the rights to randomly install new stuff. Just to save myself frustration I try to keep with the commands that are commonly available.
I'll have to go and see which of those recommendations fit that category
@kingannoy @angristan all CLI apps mentioned can be replaced with aliases, but a lot can. So maybe that could be an alternative?
@codesections thanks for sharing the article, it was a very good read
