Linux inherited a lot from Unix, which has been around for a half-century. This means most of the tools you use in your Linux terminal probably either have a very long history or were written to emulate those historical commands. It’s a point of pride in the POSIX world that tools don’t need constant reinvention. In fact, there’s a subset of Linux users today who could run a version of Linux from before they were born without having to learn anything new. It’s tried, true, and reliable.
