Unfortunately the recent decision to adopt coreutils is similarly bad.

Lots of conflicting commands between UNIX, Powershell and classical cmd.

Thankfully it is still optional, not something shipping in the box.

It is bad because some commands that are in coreutils are conflicting with cmd commands or Windows binaries?

The only thing bad is that take. It's an optional package. It doesn't overwrite any cmd commands or Windows binaries be default. So the user can decide what to install and what to use. It gives full flexibility.

If you say that's a bad choice, I think you're more commenting on your inability to work with these tools, than the tools itself.
