I always enjoy these lists. I think most folks out there could probably successfully adopt at least one or two of these tools. For me, that’s ripgrep and jq. The former is a great drop-in replacement for grep and the latter solves a problem I needed solving. I’ll try out a few of the others on this list, too. lsd and dust both appeal to me.

I just enjoy seeing others incrementally improve on our collective tool chest. Even if the new tool isn’t of use to me, I appreciate the work that went into it. They’re wonderful tools in their own right. Often adding a few modern touches to make a great tool just a little bit better.

Thank you to those who have put in so much effort. You’re making the community objectively better.
