Much can be done just with awk.
My pet peeve is the "grep | awk" idiom. No, just use awk.
Awk does map/reduce, relational joins, associative memory, table lookup, and so on. Just use awk arrays, begin block, and end block.

But most people don't know awk. And awk requires more awareness. I break my awk when I fix things when tired.
