I have to say that was a really intriguing survey .. the part I really enjoyed was the scale used to gauge how important a tool was: did it belong in your pocket, in your toolbox, in the van, or in the shed. While I prefer Perl, shell scripting is sometimes way easier and faster to get something done, and it's good to know how to do something a couple of different ways.
