As a database management system, it has some shortcomings (performance,
type checking, blah, blah, blah feature).  I suppose someone must've
found it useful (the author, the Debian packager).  Much of the
functionality can be had with "cut", "paste", "join", "sort", and
"uniq".  When I looked at it, it didn't seem to provide alot of added
value over textutils... The biggest benefit was all data was stored in
plain text files (portability).
