I was using it because a fat book about administering Red Hat Linux (from when Red Hat Linux 6 was a newfangled thing) gave it in a useful example. It went downhill from there.

Also, back when the whole Unicode mess had been a very on-and-off experience, where some tools would work and some would go bonkers, cut failed me a couple times and awk was solid. And so it went.
