Agree with you on helix. I love it.

Atuin for improved history search.

Starship for an improved shell prompt.

zoxide - better cd

ripgrep - better grep

just - a command runner. I put project specific commands/scripts in there so I don’t have to remember.

All of these are indispensable for me.

fd a better find is one I like.

imho starship is really just eye candy for the shell; it's not necessarily an actually improved shell prompt if you're on a "modern" shell like fish (a shell for the '90s!) or if you've put effort into customizing your shell experience with any of the other shells.

I’m on zsh and it’s definitely an upgrade for me.

I want to say though, great work on this migration! Really fantastic work that others can learn from when they try a similar migration.

CD is builtin, there's no better cd.

+2 for ripgrep. Modern PCRE regex with lighting speed.

I run into so many issues trying to adapt the regex in my head (usually PCRE) into the older grep and egrep style.
