Totally agree with all of your comment. To solve for structured data instead of everyone writing parsers, I’ve enjoyed using nushell (not affiliated, just love the idea). https://www.nushell.sh/

It’s like powershell but not ugly and not Microsoft.

I love the idea of nushell. Do you have any worry about the lack of portability of having and becoming so familiar with such a tool that you become reliant on it?

I have this feeling with most things that are not the "default", especially when I think of getting new tools adopted into a conservative workplace.

If you want to adopt it in your workplace, I would not recommend nushell. They have severe, long standing bugs which don't get fixed. The most annoying to me is output formatting:
