&gt; For me it&#x27;s about cross-platform command-line, I need to be able to run command-line tools that just behave the same under Windows, Mac OS X and Linux<p>Then join my headache world of all 3 versions of bash doing subtly different things. We used to think our automation&#x2F;deploy scripting could be cross platform if we used bash. Oh what heady and foolish days those were.
