I use autojump to replace some uses of cd, and I know a lot of people use ack over grep in many cases, but it would be nice if we could assemble a list of lots of similar no-brainer replacements/complements to traditional CLI tools.

I have not found ack[0] to be a drop-in replacement for grep, even when dealing with code. However, you may find it worth investigating.

Plan 9 port to Linux, or Inferno's VM over Linux, to stop spending time learning new options, and use simpler tools to actually get stuff done.
