Seems like this was last updated in 2017. IMO there has actually been a lot of cool `modern unix` kind of development in that space since then. Sure, these new tools are not always drop-in replacements and not available everywhere, but they are often easier an more fun to use.

There is also this nice awesome list with a more extensive collection.

What's not "sane" about tools that have worked for thirty years?

A lot of these replacements say "I don't want to read the man page to get what I want, make it work without arguments and with pretty colors"

Moreover, most of these have one huge practical disadvantage: they are not available by default on most systems. Some of them will - in a few decades,* if they prove their worth - but most of them will not. So they are not something I'd ever consider depending on for system scripts for example.

* maybe earlier - e.g. tmux is pretty standard on most systems now, and it's only 14 years old

Tmux is insanely useful an well written. Check out, on the other hand, glances' dependencies vs htop's ones.
