Has anyone tried using the bitbake-env utility lately?

I do not see it installed:

[user@localhost build]$ which bitbake
~/YOCTO/oe_core_embedded/poky/bitbake/bin/bitbake
[user@localhost build]$ which bitbake-env
/usr/bin/which: no bitbake-env in (/home/user/YOCTO/oe_core_embedded/poky/scripts:/home/user/YOCTO/oe_core_embedded/poky/bitbake/bin:/usr/libexec/python2-sphinx:/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/lib64/ccache:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/home/user/.local/bin:/home/user/bin)
[user@localhost build]$

As well I do not see it in the bitbake command listing:

[user@localhost poky]$ cd bitbake/bin
[user@localhost bin]$ ls -al
total 100
drwxrwxr-x. 2 user user  4096 Oct 18 12:49 .

-rwxrwxr-x. 1 user user  5813 Oct 18 12:49 git-make-shallow
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 user user  8805 Oct 18 12:49 toaster
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 user user  4177 Oct 18 12:49 toaster-eventreplay
[user@localhost bin]$

It still exists/is listed in https://elinux.org/Bitbake_Cheat_Sheet from July 2016.

bitbake-env is a third party utility, and not actually a part of the OpenEmbedded Core hence why you will not see it unless you specifically install it. It is actually an 'improved' version of the bitbake -e flag for bitbake. 

bash-4.3$ bitbake --help
Usage: bitbake [options] [recipename/target recipe:do_task ...]

    Executes the specified task (default is 'build') for a given set of target recipes (.bb files).
    It is assumed there is a conf/bblayers.conf available in cwd or in BBPATH which
    will provide the layer, BBFILES and other configuration information.

Options:
  ...
  -e, --environment     Show the global or per-recipe environment complete
                        with information about where variables were
                        set/changed.
