Its line-editing and basic shell experience is not quite childproof yet (e.g. it can't parse tildes but only in Tmux), but I think it gets the balance right between being able to bash out a long pipeline quickly and having it work as you intended it. I have greatly enjoyed writing PowerShell in an IDE/VSCode, but not as a shell, but NuShell seems to capture the best bits in the line editor. I am most excited about the error reporting where it tells you about missing fields etc.
