  What platform does `&&` not work on? It works fine in Windows `cmd`, which is the typical shell to worry about portability with.

    cmd's `&&` is the equivalent of bash's `;`. bash's `&&` has no equivalent in cmd. Edit: Never mind, I'm apparently wrong.

  That's not correct. I use npm scripts with `&&` on Windows many times per day. Other features may not be portable, but that one definitely is.
