The GNU version contains many more options and supports a larger amount of systems so this is not a fair comparison. I agree that there's no need to support all the ancient platforms though.
Yes.

Can't even sort a fucking list, opinion irrelevant.

Muh games

because it just works and I couldn't give less shits about some dead proprietary OS and its "philosophy"

What's with the infestation of BSDniggers we've got now?

it's actually 767 LOC and it features a shitload of comments

neck yourself faggot

The source bloats with Stallman's waistline.

Let's see their manpages and options, shall we?
Plan9 cat:
>fucking nothing, lol
GNU cat:
>-A, --show-all equivalent to -vET
>-b, --number-nonblank number nonempty output lines, overrides -n
>-e equivalent to -vE
>-E, --show-ends display $ at end of each line
>-n, --number number all output lines
>-s, --squeeze-blank suppress repeated empty output lines
>-t equivalent to -vT
>-T, --show-tabs display TAB characters as ^I
>-u (ignored)
>-v, --show-nonprinting use ^ and M- notation, except for LFD and TAB
>--help display this help and exit
>--version output version information and exit
Yeah no shit the code is larger.

Minimalfags need to admit they're fighting a losing battle. What corporation or institution of any kind is using Plan9 for serious work on anything? Is there a single human in the entire world who exclusively uses Plan9 and has a real job?

gnu/linux is dead sjw software anyway, same with freebsd. openbsd might be the only patrician choice.
Anthony Long
cat is for concatenating files retard. Doing other shit is what your other programs are for.
Alexander Sullivan
ok, where's the program for showing nonprinting characters?

>they have both a command and a flag in the cat command
BSD confirmed for cringe and indecisivepilled
Easton Cook
i hope you don't actually believe this
Josiah Myers
Guys look, this idiot thinks that cat needs options.
John Gomez
in this case it's just GNU
opinion discarded

GNU has never sought to follow the "Unix philosophy". Anyone who uses GNU and tries to adhere to this philosophy is misguided at best.

With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
-A, --show-all equivalent to -vET
-b, --number-nonblank number nonempty output lines, overrides -n
-e equivalent to -vE
-E, --show-ends display $ at end of each line
-n, --number number all output lines
-s, --squeeze-blank suppress repeated empty output lines
-t equivalent to -vT
-T, --show-tabs display TAB characters as ^I
-u (ignored)
-v, --show-nonprinting use ^ and M- notation, except for LFD and TAB
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
Examples:
cat f - g Output f's contents, then standard input, then g's contents.

>unix philosophy
GNU stands for Gnu is not Unix.
Blake Lopez
cat -v is an important command
Jack Brooks
I find GNU tools more convenient than BSD tools, but there is no question GNU tools are full of dumb shit nobody needs. Why does it have a feature to add line numbers?
There needs to be a middle ground between Plan 9 frugality and GNU bloat.
