I tried nushell for a few days, but sh syntax is just too ingrained... It slowed me down a bunch and couldn't get over the initial learning curve. Ended up going back to zsh. Also, losing a bunch of completions for tools I used was a bummer. I wish nushell could parse bash/zsh completion scripts or something to help ease the transition.

Maybe I'll revisit it at some point in the future.

It took me about a decade after fish came out for me to finally switch from bash. Nu looks like an improvement over fish, but I expect it will also take me about a decade to bite the bullet and use it. :P
