I use pv(1) all the time. Not a standard command, but everyone should install it and start using it. It replaces dd for most use cases and Just Does The Right Thing by default. It's part of my required packages list on every system, along with strace, htop, iotop, and vim.https://twitter.com/Yeah1Whatever/status/991568978479910913 …
I don't use even 10% of its features. For console use what else would you use. Nano? *that* is lacking features. Emacs? Massive bloated behemoth. I use Kate for development, but that's something to use from a workstation, not something to install on every machine I touch.

Opening vim and hitting "i" basically turns it into nano, except to save and quit you do <esc>:wq instead of ctrl-w. I don't get why people hate on vim. All you need to do is learn like two commands and in insert mode it behaves like every other dumb editor.
