I don't like to replace system utilities when they are different from the GNU ones. So i don't like to replace tar with gnu tar, sed with gnu sed, and so on, because they are not completely compatible. If gsed was only a super-set of sed, it could be possible, but it isn't. Scripts may rely on the original behaviour.
