@scy Classic tools only. I know the modern rewrites exist. I used some of them. But the classic tools are in my muscle memory. Probably I should create some aliases, so that I use them more frequently.

@scy
I keep forgetting about them and therefore only use some of them some of the time..

@scy Classic only - too much „not my machine“ and 30 years of muscle memory.

@scy I install them, planning to use them. But I usually just forget they exist.

@scy 20 years of muscle memory are hard to overcome. That and why bother when support is inconsistent across systems

@scy I tend to rely on classic tools because that’s something that is always available and my brain isn’t big enough to know 2 sets of tools

@scy classic tools only.

the new ones are super pretty, but I'm basically never working on my local machine, always only on remote boxes and I really don't want to (or cannot legally) install all the nice stuff there (for bloat, security and compliance reasons) :/

@scy The classic tools are usually always immediately available and can be used universally on any machine. I don't have to learn any new syntax/flags and can usually get to grips with the systems straight away without having to set up my environment first.

@scy nix has given me the ability to write and use nushell scripts on all of my machines

would i use them in production? ehh, definitely not nushell. age and yq, probably, fd too probably, but i think that’s my line 🦋
