I have a feeling you'll not appreciate my answer considering your current workflow. I don't mind bash and the various cli programs I used to use for the tasks I was doing at the cli. However I was forced years ago to learn powershell. Now syntax aside I was able to use powershells native functionality to do things I'd have to call other programs for, read and process CSV, JSON, XML, etc. Nushell is like powershell but a much better syntax and I prefer the data model and love the output. My main workflows consist of exploring data, cleaning it, and outputting what I need. Nushell has this covered.
