    Not impressed by shell incantations. What would sell such a tool to me is a feature to replace those with new and more intuitive syntax.

    Holding on to how things are done in the shell is not a thing to be proud of. I think a lot of us around here stopped counting the times we got tripped by globbing, forgetting or misplacing one special character in a ${} block, or quoting.

    Let those monstrosities die already. Please.

    There's this tool -- https://github.com/ejholmes/walk -- that is pretty good and I liked it but dropped it for the same reasons: it leaves the heavy lifting to you and it depends on your mastery in the black arts.

    Now obviously I'm not managing huge projects but nowadays https://github.com/casey/just serves me just fine for everything I need.
