Installing GNU utilities on top of BSD utilities isn't bringing OSX "to the 21st Century". BSD's utils are different. Doesn't make them outdated or wrong.
The primary issue is, that certain tools installed in OSX by default. Like sed. Are horribly out of date. The version of sed currently running on OSX is the version they forked in the 80s
