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.

Weird. At first I thought it might be due to tabs, but it appears to be using spaces.


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.
