Honest question: why? I'm not really interested in portable scripts, usually I just want to get a job done as fast as possible and move on (for serious automation I prefer Python, shell is for more interactive use for me). Is there any upside to sticking to busybox commands in this case?

    That guy is starting from very far away, HN not the place as it is not enough to fill in that amount of blanks. And from the first thing you learn in real life, is humility, but sometimes, some people makes you feel you know everything, like here... but I very well know I am average/normal, which worsen even more his/her case. Yeah, a bit like John Snow. This is an horrible feeling. Not to mention, this post is border-line passive-aggressive... so...
