I sympathize with this question but I think this thread is actually mocking someone's well-intentioned and serious project. Personally I have at minimum a "dc" alias and I can totally see how one might start evolving that into a shell wrapper to make your common tasks less verbose. But perhaps the author envisioned it saving more typing and being more generally useful than it is, and also under-estimated the importance of the increased surface for errors and bugs that the project brings.
