The case for Nushell, jntrnr.com/case-for-nushell/.

Relevant article about shells, and how Nushell pushes the boundaries further. I highly recommend reading it.

@hywan @Keltounet Question: "can the state of shells be improved enough to overcome the inertia of sticking to what you know?"

This is the wrong question. It presupposes zero cost of transition, while the cognitive workload of learning a new shell rises exponentially with age (hint: I'm nearly 60, shells are harder to adapt to than a new GUI). Stability and continuity are essential prerequisites to productivity!

@cstross @hywan @Keltounet just changing how history (ctrl-r in bash) works with something like hstr is a huge difficult leap
