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?

I've been using nushell for a year and while it is great mostly, and means you don't need to use external tools like jq, the verbosity is tedious at times. I have a lot of aliases set, and I often use the caret escape hatch to run the traditional command if I just want a quick answer.
