This is productivity porn for programmers. While obviously these tools are deep and powerful, there is also a learning curve and experimenting wether you can adapt your workflow to them or vice versa. Next year we will have another 5 shiny command line tools, and so on.
My point being: only replace your weapons of choice once you are confident you are using them to their full potential and you identify needs that these known tools wont solve.

It is totally fine to use a newer tool as a novice so you are learning something that will serve you better in the long run, even if you aren't an expert in some other tool from the start If you are a novice, you don't start with alternative tools, because they are much more likely to lose popularity, stop being developed, and lose relevance.
- schwartzworld 5y agoSome of these tools are pretty easy to use. Entr is amazing and can be incorporated into a workflow very easily Same with fzf. On a Mac, copying specific output from a command becomes so easy. For example `git branch | fzf | pbcopy`.
