I don't understand the logic behind using this shell, Derek. It's exactly the same argument that answers the question -Why use vi/vim?- That being that you can go to any Linux system that you like and be pretty sure of a degree of familiarity with it because it will probably have both vi and bash installed - I therefore don't see the logic to learning a completely new shell, albeit one that is probably very good in its own way.
Yes, it's good to see these things and thank you for reviewing them - but for anyone that works on multiple systems (and I am lucky enough to work with Linux and get paid for it, as well as running it at home) always has in their head one single environment that they would love to see identically deployed across all the systems they touch.
We're engineers - we're -productively lazy- in that we want to make our jobs as easy as possible and as automated as possible so that we can spend as much time as possible sitting on our couches and drinking beer!

Yeah, those pipes everywhere and the unnecessary line numbers looks unpleasant and impractical, to me. If I need line numbers, there are a number of ways to do that. (awk, cat, nl, etc) If I want to play with a standard ls output, I absolutely can do that.
If you see how I use ls, I have (for me) some commonly-needed information and that's it. The fewer columns needed, the better, whereas what I saw here uses a whole ton of columns, requiring a rather large terminal, breaking a lot of people's workflow, I imagine -- think side-by-side terminals.
Data is already in a table format, I'd argue, but without the lines clearly defining each cell.
That said, I'm always a fan of choice, so I'm glad there's another option.

The regular shells were so natural for newcomers when it was DOS that ruled the desktop market. DOS requires typing of commands and so do the Unix and Linux shells. Then Windows became mainstream, then smartphone and suddenly you can read comments against the Linux shells, even though you get so much powerful tools for free. Literally at the price of the cost of Internet connection! Maybe even cheaper, if you get public WiFi or borrow a Linux CD, USB Stick or DVD from a friend.

If -sh is like a Bugatti, Powershell is a Chrysler 300 with that janky Bugatti body kit (-We even alias'ed popular bash commands!-). Making an -sh look like Powershell is akin to putting a Chrysler kit on a Veyron for some guy suffering from a crippling identity crisis.

I'm confused. Why break the way the shell works with, for instance, pipes, just to get a tabular ls, when it's easier to write a new program that can produce a directory listing in tabular format and use switches rather than pipes to alter the formatting?

Do you script in zsh, bash, fish, or others? I know zsh is bash compatible, but I hear it has some differences.
It's interesting to think how people adopt new shells for interactive use, yet still stick to bash/tcsh for scripting purposes

I would just say.. Learn to use bash or zsh.. That provides all the needed functionalities for sorting and formatting and more.. And that table output is not nice for programmer perspective.. it totally breaks the functional thinking of linux shells.

Humm... nah. If the shells we use have been around for this long time it means they're tested and approved. This nu tinggy seems much more an experiment for the Rust language than a proper shell.

I really wonder why people still prefer to type at 2019? Cant Everything shown in this demo be done in windows with a couple of mouse click? Minus the memorization, typing and typi

DT I wanted to say Jupiter Broadcasting just discovered Nu Shell in the last episode of Linux Unplugged (April 2020) you were 6 months ahead of them, keep up the amazing work
