I don't see this as a replacement for knowing package manager syntax. As someone who works with many machines running many different distros at the same time, I appreciate being able to open a terminal and run "install htop", without using even a single brain cell to think about which distro it's running and instead focus on doing whatever I need to do (which is often time-sensitive).
When I need to do package management, I'll use a package manager. But for when I need to quickly install one tool to get something done, my giant shell function "ji" (stands for "just install") has saved me precious time.
In its current state, this project is equivalent to a bunch of command alises, but that doesn't mean it can't be useful.
