# Nushell 2019 Survey Results

Recently, we ran a short survey to see how you were feeling about [Nushell](https://github.com/nushell/nushell). We wanted to give a very hearty "thank you!" to everyone who participated. These surveys are a great way to gather information about how people are feeling, where they're happy, and where they feel there are pain points.

In total, **160** people responded. An impressive amount for a project still in its first few months in the public.

# Do you use Nu?



The survey welcomed both users and non-users of Nu. In our first question, we wanted to see how many folks are using Nu already. Perhaps unsurprising for a project still missing major functionality, most respondents aren't users, yet. As we'll see, there are themes around what people are waiting for before they jump in.

But first, let's take a look at the responses from folks how are currently using Nu.

# Nu users

## What do you like? (20 responses)
