Powerful but not sufficient. There’s plenty of us who don’t use jq for various reasons.

LLMs have allowed me to start using jq for more than pretty printing JSON.

  • The issue isn’t jq’s syntax. It’s that I already use other tools that fill that niche and have done since as long as jq has been a thing. And frankly, I personally believe the other tools are superior so I don’t want to fallback to jq just because someone on HN tells me to.
