People who have transitioned from Linux to Mac OS X, including me, tend to despise the BSD coreutils for missing functionality or different switches. This plugin allows one to use the GNU coreutils and associated tools like gnu-tar, gnu-sed, gnu-time, et al. in interactive mode without interfering with scripts.

Can't tell if I should be sourcing "/usr/local/Cellar/coreutils/8.12/aliases" in my .zshrc or not with this. Can you enlighten?

Using aliases is inflexible since the aliases are at risk of being overriden resulting in the BSD coreutils being called. So, this plugin is better. If you read the source, you'll see that it documents three ways to use the GNU coreutils, two of which are commented out.
