Yeah, I see they did mention "your languages functions". It's just, subjectively, reading awk and sed next to "easily" irritates me. Because I've never found it easy to get into those.

Sure. You should use whatever you are comfortable with. That's the point. When you don't need special parsers or tools, you can more easily adopt your tooling for the job, because almost every language has tools to deal with files. ( I assume there is some language that doesn't, who knows?)
