You have my admirations for fzf, it helps me dozens of times every day. And I do understand that authors of such prominent tools will want to have tamed integrations with people's shells, makes perfect sense.

That being said, as a guy who does not have big prominent OSS tools under his belt, I am slowly but surely migrating away from shell scripts and changing them to short Golang programs. Already saved my sanity a few times.

Nothing against the first cohort of people who had to make computers work; they are heroes. But at one point the old things only impede and slow everyone else and it's time to move on.

Sorry, I was accidentally unclear in my writing. fzf was written by https://github.com/junegunn , I merely wrote a tutorial on it that got unexpectedly popular on here some years back.

I'm sorry Junegunn! I would never dream of stealing that kind of valor. I'll remember to flag [1] as a tutorial I wrote explicitly in the future.

Seems we both screwed up. :D

Thanks for the clarification.
