The fact that the first example has a bug (it doesn't handle file names with spaces correctly) sort of proves the point of the commenter you responded to. I personally don't use nushell (or another alternative, oil) because bash for scripting and zsh for interactive shell is good enough for me, and compatibility with other people is valuable. However, whenever you start to write slightly complex scripts in bash, you have to think carefully about spaces in file names and other similar problems. Of course, you can argue you should just write those scripts in Python, but shell is a lot quicker to write and would be more elegant if it had fewer footguns and less esoteric syntax.
