The whole point of this is when you don't remember the command which you are trying to achieve. (See the author's comment[1]: "Betty just grew out of my cheat sheet of commands. I was tired of repeatedly looking up things in my cheat sheet or Google, and decided to make this.")
It's faster than a google search.

- roeme 12y agoI'd say the time spent looking it up (and maybe creating an alias/script) is less than typing it verbosely each time. I don't see 'betty whats my ip address' as a valid alternative to 'ip addr list'. And in case of 'betty next song' vs. osascript -e 'tell application "iTunes" to skip to next track' I'd just alias the latter to something short & memorable (though I just wrote it from memory).
