I've used Zsh for 15 years or more, and when I started I read the manual. (I realize this is unthinkable nowadays.)

I noted down the things I thought would be useful day-to-day, and started using them. A few months later, I skimmed through the manual again. I still do so, every year or two. My work gradually changes, and I find Zsh has features that are now useful to me.

This is the suggested manpage: https://linux.die.net/man/1/zshexpn

There are an endless number of programs I could be using. There are an endless number of programs you could be using.

The issue is how to decide whether something is worth looking at.

An article which gives examples that can easily be achieved by some more mainstream system is unconvincing. That's what was being discussed here:

> This is always my complaint about posts like this. I read them looking for the killer feature to make me consider switching from bash and it's always stuff bash does natively or with a one line alias.

Yes, the comment I replied to already suggested that. You're not doing much to convince me that your judgment is worth respecting.
