I was initially a little bit confused by Amazon's attempt to disrupt the mirror industry (and it seems like others in this thread are too). After reading through everything, my best guess for the motivation is:

> Echo Look helps you discover new brands and styles inspired by your lookbook

This feels like a marketing vehicle for high-end clothing and accessories. Maybe it's a way to leverage the reach of their Alexa ecosystem to compete with the likes of Polyvore?

I've used the -e option in GNU's echo many times. The various other versions are strictly less useful to me.

Does the option really belong in echo? Who knows, but it's certainly been useful to me.

UNIX fifth edition goes for absolute minimalism. Echo in Plan 9 is apparently used enough that it's worthwhile to optimize the number of times write is called. FreeBSD echo looks like someone just learned about writev. OpenBSD's seem like the sanest of the minimalists.

What's the takeaway for you?
