Has the code quality in that repo gotten to a good point then? I haven't followed it much, but last I looked[1] (which was a few years ago) almost every tool I looked at in detail had pretty bad performance or correctness issues.

The reason for existence of uutils is ideological, not technical. Thus code quality is of no use for the objective.

You weren't kidding: it was exactly 4 years ago ("September 13, 2022").
