This sort of sounds like a vegan/vegetarian telling me that the veggie chicken tenders taste a lot like regular chicken tenders.
Maybe I should have just downvoted and left it at that, but it's late at night, so here goes. How exactly do you think a comment like this contributes to the discussion? Someone posted a list of tools they use. You reply with this. The world would be better off without this type of information-free negativity.

> How many desktop environments actually let you switch the window button side? KDE does. And Gnome used to.
So use KDE then? Last time I tried it I found it to lack the polish that gnome has.

As much as I like httpie, in my view it's not a strict improvement like fd or ripgrep. This is unfortunately due to it being written in python.
Well I use it all the time and it's a huge improvement to my life. The elegant and simple syntax makes testing endpoints so much easier than the verbose curl and wget alternatives... curl curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"some": "content"}' / httpie http / some=content

#117locate is not mentioned -- two orders of magnitude faster than find for searches from '/' on my laptop, e.g. find / -name \*bashrc\* locate bashrc Faster because reading from a single binary cache file, updated nightly, rather than opening every directory inode under /. To force an immediate synchronous update of the cache: sudo updatedb

All in all, the idea is good, but I'm almost sure there are better implementations (even Windows has tools like 'Everything' which use a database but which gets continuously updated).
