Hi - I'm a developer too, full time, and I'm the one who made this so I guess I should be the one explaining it. Roots is for front-end devs or devs who do front-end work. It makes doing front-end work blazing fast and much less repetitive. As for your comment on making it yourself, I would urge you to go check out the github repo (https://github.com/jenius/roots https://github.com/jenius/roots). I can assure you that replicating this environment is not something that can be done with a couple lines of npm install xxx - there is a lot of code under the hood. I've spent more than a year on and off working on this. The command line client is fast, simple, and intuitive. The css library is extensive and extremely powerful. I built this tool for developers to make life quicker and easier when it comes to front-end dev. Give it a shot, and if you still think it would be more convenient to roll your own, email me and maybe I can take a few tips from you on how to continue improving roots to make it more useful for developers : )
