Again, I think ls would be really enough. We should try to integrate old dos users, but still remember we are a Un*x like system and not dos. It seems to me that we spam our harddisk with unecessary binaries! If egrep/grep are also the same, I am wondering how many MBs of my hd are lost! What I mean is not only the practical side. If we go on replicating binaries just to change an option, where will we end ?
