In my editor, calling programs via sh has been an extremely powerful tool. It literally opens your entire system up for use. I usually use it for indenting large selections of text or mass find & replace. Occasionally use awk too. Performance isn't an issue. I rarely ever edit text files that are 2MB+. This may be different though from the typical sandy user.
