Indeed, interestingly, for me, nc replaces the existing usages of both telnet and ftp (i.e., unencrypted and third-party transfers).  Except that my brain cannot teach my fingers to stop typing “telnet”, so I usually have that installed in some form (e.g., inetutils) as well.

PS.: OK, I should probably simply alias “telnet” to “nc -ctv” or some such.
