314 vs. 784 lines, not adjusted for amount of comments. Bloat or simply an increased set of features? Being used to GNU commands, I've always found BSD commands lacking features I often use. Although you can usually compose the same operation using some additional pipes and although I understand how this would be considered 'prettier', 'cleaner' or 'better', I still feel the GNU commands I am used to are just right and do not constitute 'bloat'.
In many cases the "GNU bloat" lies not in the added features but in unnecessary cleverness and complexity. See how GNU cat does it's own complex buffering, while FreeBSD version just calls read/write in loop in simple case and uses stdio in the complex one.
