Very similar here...I've only used awk *very* sparingly because I never really took the time to learn it.

sed is a different story. I've studied it and learned quite a bit of what it can do, and I find it absolutely indispensable. I have used sed to save jobs before, and that's no joke (corrupted plain-text database dump that was "cleaned up" with a sed one-liner so it could be properly restored).
