Thanks for the feedback.
I know this is one of those things, like using ip instead of ifconfig,
that once I start using I'll never go back, but the activation energy to
force myself to override decades of habit is often too much.
It's funny how I'm so into change in Oracle, but for other things I'm a
stubborn old goat.

Not a huge amount to be honest, I'm not a fan of the old-style sending
characters to disk. Our scripts now use code like the line below to create
a new aligned GPT partition that essentially fills the disk. Just feels
easier to understand than the fdisk alternative.
parted -s -a optimal "$disk" mklabel gpt -- mkpart primary ext4 1MiB -2048s

I'm curious. I still use fdisk because I'm lazy I guess. Apart from the
2TB limit for fdisk, is there anything else that makes parted better than
fdisk?
