There are other options if you want POSIX. But nushell just does things differently (and in a much more sane way with pipes).
Why would you want `test -e "$foo"` when you have `$foo | path exists`? Why `test -n "$foo"` when you have an actual == comparison and pattern matching expressions? And you don't have to worry about quoting things just right in any of the situations.
Yes, you need to learn a little bit of a new thing. You can even implement a test function itself if you really want to. But sometimes it's nice to just dump the legacy baggage.
Colorful outputs and elaborately decorated error messages are cool but maybe it shouldn't deviate that far from POSIX shells.
