It's for command line users and you pass it tab delimited text files and
ask it to do statistical calculations on the contents of those files. I
tried doing standard deviations with emacs and org-mode and couldn't
figure out how to make that happen so it's nice that datamash works.
Command line users of linux on many distributions have been restricted to
sc or variants and teapot for spreadsheets and those can't do this kind of
work. psql and mysql can't do standard deviations either. php may be a
solution, but that involves learning another language. The datamash
program will take way less time to learn and get results. Many
distributions of linux already have this package available too.
