They use this tool extensively at Spotify. I saw a presentation by https://twitter.com/jooon https://twitter.com/jooon, when I was over there in September last year. It is a really cool tool. Especially since they use JSON internally for almost all of their data representations. Jq + Percol[1] is kind of cool.

If percol is based on aut-fu, then it's probably not that good. The screenshot shows auto-fu, I know that zsh-plugin, but it's really messy and does very aggressive auto-completion (erasing your previous input). I'd rather use fish-shell instead.

  no percol is not shell plugin, but a simple cmdline util used in a pipeline, I suggest you take a look. I understand that animation on the website is a little bit confusing though.

I was also thinking of Xiki (http://xiki.org/ http://xiki.org/) + jq. A Unix-like shell with JSON for object serialization could approximate the PowerShell, no? Think of ksh93's awful compound variables... done right.
