Hinder myself? An ephemeral cloud machine would not keep my custom shell anyway. By having to install it _every single time I connect_ I just loose precious time.
I want to be familiar with tools that are _already_ installed everywhere.
The shell is supposed to be a bottom feeder, lowest common denominator, barely usable tool. That way, it can build soon and get stable real fast. That (unintentional) strategy placed it as a core infrastructural piece... everywhere.
Of course, there's scripting and using it on the terminal. But we're talking about scripting, right? Parsing ls and stuff. I want the fast, lean, simple `dash` to parse my fast, lean simple scripts. pwsh is fine for the terminal leather seats.
