I have always struggled a bit with shell replacements. I use zsh but only because of oh-my-zsh. Apart from that I always thought of shell scripts as a necessary evil for interoperability. Today you can usually expect a linux system to have bash or at least sh. That is why I do shell scripting. Nushell is usally not preinstalled on a system and so I cannot expect it.

If I want to do real scripting/programming I use python or another dedicated programming language. I don't really know what the value of Nushell is for me. Maybe the plugin system is amazing but at the moment I miss nothing in my zsh.

It is not just about scripting but the structure of input and output. Also no need to give up (z)sh switching shells is eazy.

Maybe I need to get into nushell more but my feeling is that if it's a simple problem it the benefit will be negligible and if it is too complicated for that I will probably write a python script.

>>BadBad+xF
That was my feeling as well. Why learn some not-used-anywhere-else scripting language when we have bash/zsh with battle tested scripts and snippets? Also, nushell will probably break everything that expects a normal bash/zsh/fish.

I’d probably rather use xonsh as I do more complex scripts in Python anyways.
