I tried some of those but I'm not a fan of the frilly stuff they add by default to the outputs. I was having a hard time with the output of one of these rust tools (I think it was an ls replacement) that was pretty printing and tabulating stuff. Its nice to read I agree but it was a pain to copy and paste outputs and the option for a normal output was not default.
- nindalf 4y agoI think you’re conflating different projects. There are projects that aim for a better user experience, with better command line interface, defaults, performance and UI. These are of course breaking changes and the programs can’t be used as drop in replacements. Some examples are - ls => exa (https://github.com/ogham/exa https://github.com/ogham/exa) - grep => ripgrep (https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep) - cat => bat (https://github.com/sharkdp/bat https://github.com/sharkdp/bat) - tree => broot (https://github.com/Canop/broot https://github.com/Canop/broot) The person you’re replying to was speaking of a different project - uutils (https://github.com/uutils/coreutils https://github.com/uutils/coreutils). These are drop in replacements with identical interfaces (modulo bugs).
- irusensei 4y agoYou are right it was exa and I was conflating projects.
