What other tools do you use to help you do GIS?
Whiteboxtools. Very fast and powerful. Works nice for hydrology and LiDAR. Good interface to Python as well.

What CLI tool will blow your mind? (written in rust)
WhiteboxTools (https://www.whiteboxgeo.com/) is a CLI tool that is about 500,000 lines of Rust (https://github.com/jblindsay/whitebox-tools) and is used for geospatial analysis in all kinds of industries. Most people use one of the many front-ends for it though (e.g. the QGIS plugin), so as to avoid the CLI, but at the most basic level, it's just a CLI. (Note, I'm the author of this tool, and so a little biased.)
