This is what I really love about UNIX-like systems.  Tools can be combined
to achieve functionality that none of the tools could provide alone.  In
Windows, every single program has to implement nearly everything on its own.

No wonder command-line interface is well alive despite all the GUI around.
Terminal is about the first program I start after logging in :)
