    It's all a system of trade-offs. Both sed and perl are minimal
    solutions, which might not work in some cases. But the point is that
    these don't require downloading/compiling/installing a suite of
    programs for a one-off task. Of course I don't advocate the use of
    sed for processing XML, but if all you want to do is get rid of tags,
    then it's a one-liner which you can type in in less time than it takes
    you to read whether XML processing system Y runs on your operating
    system.

    But I certainly agree with you that
