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?

you can absolutely do what you want. GNU find is external and since it conflicts with a builtin can be aliased or referenced like ^find.

the syntax is new for sure, and it’s not for everyone.

I prefer flow to futz. Thanks for the info. Glad it's working for you. I'm staying with what works well for me.
