I am curious from someone who uses fig every day - what’s the rundown on its value?

I am/was a daily user. To me it was just very good autocomplete on terminal/CLI commands.

Autocomplete for CLI apps, gui for directory changes, just quality of life things.

Hmm I'm curious. What does "gui" mean? It yanked you out of the command line in a browser or finder?

And was this autocomplete server based or happened locally and privately?

It added a correctly positioned autocomplete list in front of the cursor in almost any terminal app.

The core server was local, its two most used features were directory, and CLI arguments autocomplete.

Autocomplete of S3 buckets.

E.g

aws s3 ls s3://<magic…>

Also brief documentation of any arguments or flags for the command you are typing.
