I'm a firm believer of "the less shell scripts the better".
Shell is awful, obfuscated, and should stay a scripting language
No amount of scripting is a replacement for code portability and shell script wrappers make software unpleasant to use, especially when they don't have completions. Why do we need to generate completions? Why can't we have good things in 2026 and have self-documenting software? Ironically I think the only use case that I don't mind is BusyBox
"But it solves this problem just fine"
Okay but can anyone read it once it's written. The only thing it has going for it is that it's not Batch.
And I mean, Fish and similar are fiine, but don't make script files coherent enough to actually replace shell scripts for me
