There was a time I was writing scripts using Node about once a week, and I settled on ShellJS. I don't remember loving the experience.

Haven't had this need in at least a year though. From looking on npmtrends[0], ShellJS still seems the incumbent and quite alive.

Are these new zx/dax/bun-shell tools, each inspired in the previous one, way better?

I've used ShellJS as well with node. These days I'm more inclined to use Deno just for better ergonomics. That said, now that I know about dax, I'll probably use that with Deno.

I haven't used bun shell at all.
