It's cool, I just gave it a go, but I'm not sure it's gonna happen that I'll transition from
ls -lrt(this does not work in NuShell)to
ls | sort-by modified | reverseWell, it's easier to remember second script
While your argument is valid, most bash users I know are lazy bitches and tend to alias commands which require to type more than 5 letters. I guess NuShell lower the bar for NuUsers, but of I have to remember either single letters or puppy it through longer commands, I world opt for single letters.
Totally - for new users it's great... similarly, I would have loved to start typing on Dvorak.
My problem might be one of age, but there is no way I'm gonna retrain myself after 20+ years of typing that specific ls command... ;)

Of course this does not capture the usual composability of those switches.
