Life is to short to use dated CLI tools that suck. Try these instead

If I want to more influencers' bait content I just browse twitter directly

Some of these are great (htop) but I don't understand the purpose of cat with syntax highlighting. It just seems wrong to me.

agreed, I'd be more interested in syntax highlighting in my pager than in cat.

bat is actually more pager than cat, it automatically switches to pager mode when its input exceeds a certain size.

Aren’t they completely missing the point?

“Dated” unix cli tools were designed to do their job well and hand off any further needs to other tools.

Want syntax highlighting and line numbers with cat? Pipe it into a text editor or something.

life is too short to waste time chasing next colorful toys that you'll not notice after a week.

Definitely. I actually installed `bat` a few years ago and then forgot about it immediately. `diff-so-fancy` was pretty nice, but then I started using Emacs and then Magit ruled 'em all... `htop` is still great to have though.
