The node-based CLI tools kind of do though.

It boggles my mind people use Node for this.
'When all you have is a hammer'
I don't have a hammer, but I know how to import it!

Not sure what to do with it, I'll just import "structural connectors."

Hm. Oh, look, a "match tool to connector" library! Wait, it builds a map the wrong way. I'll just import a "reverse map" tool.

Hm. Well, whatever, my build directory is a few hundred GB and somehow includes all of McMaster's web inventory, but that's fine, SSDs are cheap!

And now I know that I need a "nail" for the hammer!

Sorry, can you tell I don't like modern web dev techniques and styles?

I mean, in a Node project, if I need some internal CLI tool, I'll just write a Node script. But for distributable apps, doesn't make much sense to me either.
