Hello fellow nixers,
In this thread let's share our opinions on those brand new tools for "efficiency" that pop-up so often on tech-news websites.

I'm referring to scripts aliasing, prettifiers, curses wrappers, helpers of all sorts, fancier interfaces over old tools, etc..
Especially tools that are made to make other tools more usable or prettier.

Tools and scripts such as:

• autojump
  
• bashmarks
  
• lazygit
  
• bat
  
• prettyping
  
• colordiff
  
• httpie
  
• and much much more, you get the idea
  

Here's my stand on this topic:

I don't usually install any of those fancy wrappers for efficiency purposes because I keep switching between machines while working and I can't be bothered to install one in a place and not the other. I'd rather stay vanilla.
However, I still have maybe two or three color wrappers such as colordiff that I use quite a lot before sending patches or pushing online my changes.
Tools are tools in the end, if you can extend your environment to fit what you need then it's for the best. CLI are also easy to write so it let's anyone contribute with new tools.

Share what you think of tools wrappers and prettifiers, and don't forget to mention some of them too.
