I&#x27;ve used shelljs [0] a couple times now and it works great.<p>The big benefit is that you get cross platform support and anyone can contribute!<p>Overall, it just plays well with JS applications. If I have a bunch of domain-specific utils used in my application and I want to use em as I move some files around, using something like shelljs makes it very to mix and match.<p>I&#x27;m interested in giving cash a try, though. It&#x27;s not immediately clear how it differentiates itself.<p>EDIT: I just scrolled to the bottom of the README and it has a section on the difference with shelljs. It appears that they have different goals.<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;documentup.com&#x2F;shelljs&#x2F;shelljs" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;documentup.com&#x2F;shelljs&#x2F;shelljs</a>
