Agreed. Happily, the GNU-utils have become the de-facto standard (and in general most feature-rich and easy-to-use) for making a unix (-like) OS go.
In general yes, but I've encountered some systems (namely Solaris) that tuck the GNU stuff away in another directory. IIRC this was done to balance those who wanted GNU vs those who were reliant on legacy behaviour.
These days I'm pretty much writing entirely in high-level scripting languages so I no longer care about this stuff :)
