I'm a basic bash and vim kinda cat too. Even then, I vastly prefer things in the browser for these 'flavor-of-the-week' type apps than many of the alternatives like:
$ curl shady-url.com | bash, or
$ tar xzf $(curl -O shady_url); make install, or
$ npm install some-shady-package
$ whatever other ruby/python/gem/egg/cmake/pathogen/etc.
$ brew install cask github/shady-business
$ docker pull ubunut+apt-get+myapp+postgres
Or hey, click this and forget about it in an hour. Ah. so much better.
