Since we're on the subject of commands that we like or dislike, for me as a 
sysadmin, the much bigger issue is that it takes me like 20 to 40 lines of 
shell script to do with pfiles what this simple command:

    lsof -ni

does on FreeBSD and Linux. And pfiles pretty much takes forever to grep through 
all the stuff in the /proc directory while lsof is so blazing fast that I can 
actually write shell scripts around it that do useful things in real time on a 
very busy Linux server that has thousands of incoming http connections.
