A lot of these personal automation things(and helpful scripts and aliases) are not so much a timesaver to me but a way to make the time I interact with a computer more pleasant. Like steel toed boots vs. stubbing your toe all the time. Yeah stubbing your toe is unpleasant but ultimately un harmful and does not last long. I'd still prefer to have the boots.
The other aspect of it is that it may help you keep long trains of thought or keep you in the zone longer if there are fewer interruptions.
