How is GNU / BSD sed and awk not awesome?

Limited regex capabilities. A fast tool that does what sed and awk do with PCRE2 would be amazing.

Well, I would like to tackle that but unfortunately I do not have enough time to do things for free. :(

Is there any demand for it anyway?

I think there would be, but I can only raise my own hand :-)

A tool called sd exists that's close enough for sed, but I haven't seen anything similar for awk.
