Best for

Shell users who want to filter JSON, CSV, and system data without awk gymnastics.

Why it deserves attention

Nushell pipes structured data between commands, so ls, ps, and API responses arrive as tables you can filter, sort, and convert to JSON or CSV. It ships with typed data, built-in date and path handling, and a plugin system, and runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows. It is MIT-licensed with 40,000 GitHub stars and active development. Its syntax differs from bash and POSIX tools, so existing scripts need rewriting and some CLI tools behave differently.
