I like most if the new tools, but the 'ss' command produces output that's hard to skim. When outputting to a terminal it tries to justify the columns, hiding some information on the next line. When you pipe it through cat (so it can't detect a tty), the columns don't even line up.
Honestly, why people don't use tabs in terminals is beyond me. It's easier to parse in nearly every case that doesn't involve a text editor of some sort.
