I used to be a regular user of jq, but I was never parsing very large JSON. I now do what I used to do with jq in my browser's developer tools console. Map and filter are far more familiar than jq's syntax where I found myself referring to the documentation most of the time.

I'm sure other people have use cases where the browser wouldn't meet their needs, but for me, I find jq unnecessary.

Writing a script? I'm not going to have my script open a web browser so I can attempt to interact with a web console.

When it got to the point when I needed a script, I just preferred Python. I can understand how some might prefer jq and a shell script, I just realized it wasn't worth it for my particular needs.
