" if you understand every single command in this, you don't need it." - Oh, I don't need it, but it's kind of convenient to have a reference of them, all in one repo.

Tool users, remember?

If I don't understand every single line of code and algorithm in any piece of OSS I use, do you feel as though I don't need it? Not starting a flamewar with this question, I'm genuinely curious
Not true - automation is great! I understand the script and would use it.
Agree -- people are missing the point that this stuff would easily take over an hour to do manually in the GUI.
