That's what I'm talking about. I'm super comfortable reading the man pages for things, but if a tool wants to take over all the boilerplate and do things for me, awesome! Sure, I can add a function by editing rc files. That doesn't scare me one bit. But... why? There's a lot to be said for convention over configuration.

For context, for a while I was the FreeBSD port maintainer for shells/bash-completion. I'm (too) familiar with the plumbing of various shells. I can do all the manual work myself, but there are lots of things I'd rather be doing instead.
