I've never seen nushell as a daily driver -- more as a data exploration tool. Have a random export you want to go splunking in? `nu` from your current zsh session and go wild. When you're done, ^D back to your main zsh session, job done. Whereas `jq` is only useful for json, and `xsv` is only useful for CSVs, `nu` offers uniform syntax for exploring many different formats and producing structured data out at the end as well. Neat!
