And what does "utilities in bash" mean? Do you mean features of specifically the bash-shell? Do you mean shell-tools in general? Or shells in general?
These are unrelated to bash. They are just commandline-tools; you can call them from any shell.
> do they have any drawbacks,
They all have their drawbacks, which is why there are constantly new tools, improving that space.
More of what? What do you need and what are your problems?
I know you can do a for loop as a one liner but I somehow never get it right the first time and turns out to be a bit of a PIA.
for i in {1..5}; do echo $i; done
