Busybox for Windows is the best implementation of coreutils for it, far and away. The maintainer is also very knowledgeable and responsive and actually merges community PRs which is incredible. Microsoft isn't going to do that, so why bother? Microsoft's solution will be a hot buggy mess that needs its own workaround and quirks day 1.


BusyBox IS NOT COREUTILS. ITS NOT EVEN REMOTELY THE SQME THING. It's something entirely different and not even remotely an adequate replacement
