I've been trying nushell and words fail me. It's like it was made for actual humans to use! 🤯 🤯 🤯

It even repeats the column headers at the end of the table if the output takes more than your screen...

Trying to think of how to do the same thing with awk/grep/sort/whatever is giving me a headache. Actually just thinking about awk is giving me a headache. I think I might be allergic.

I'm really curious, what's your favorite shell? Have you tried other shells than your distro's default one? Are you an awk wizard or do you run away very fast whenever it's mentioned?

This is othering to the rest of us that just read manuals, understand how the tools work, and like them just fine.

Its fine to like nushell, no hate here, but you don't have to dis what works (and has worked) for almost everyone else for so long.

What about: "wow I am really impressed with the QOL features in nushell!" Instead of "everyone who doesnt like this is not human"?

I genuinely can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.
