Got it, so more about the general idea of using Node to interact with a shell. Fair points but I'm not sure that's where zx falls. I'm looking at it in relation to projects like commander, oclif, and vorpal— frameworks for authoring and packaging local-use CLI tools written in JS, typically aimed at people who know JS and work in a terminal but don't know shell scripting. Those have the overhead of learning a framework, and don't do anything to help you work with the shell. zx seems to come from the other direction: instead of an esoteric framework, shell concepts and shell commands in a Node script.

genealogit
Genealogy modeled in Git, with CLI for building and visualizing family trees and for determining blood relationships
people writing CLI apps who have to depend on a Node package (I would have been happy for something like zx when writing genealogit, a tool for visualizing family trees with Git graphs which I wrote in Node because I needed GEDCOM parser and the only one I found that met my needs in a language I know was in Node. Last I looked it wasn't working, and the oclif factor discouraged me from debugging)
