I imagine *everyone* expects the 'host' command to exist.
I don't think most people do DNS queries by hand.
Really? I do it often enough.
And those who do will find `drill` is superior to `host`; the output format is different (it's modeled after `dig`) but so what?
So, drill will give me a page full of useless text instead of simply giving an IP, like host does. I always found dig's output to be way more than I ever wanted, unless in very special situations.
