it's a tradeoff for sure. With dig especially I can't ever remember the normal syntax because I have aliases and scripts for things. I feel the aliases are wroth it since I'm on my own machine(s) 99.5% of the time, but it does suck to be handicapped

Absolutely, and I think aliases are great and should be used. I, personally, worked in a handful of environments that made me realize it was infeasible to lean on aliases and helper scripts. Like bluGill said, if I need it in a real way, I'll try and upstream it.

What I resent is someone telling me how to use a computer. I've got that bit mostly down at this point.
