Hey EJ good question.

Unix is an entire ecosystem built around text files. Text processing tools are effectively your management tools!
That's why they've spent the past ~69 years developing the best text editors in the world! Windows is a completely different ecosystem built around complicated APIs and Objects.
Text processing tools are useless here. Tools like sed/grep/awk don't work against COM, WMI, ADSI, the Registry, the cert store, etc.

TL;DR If you like text editors, you will LOVE Linux!
