I can only remember one major outage from them in the past ~10 years (in the 2020s, not the 2012 outage), and if I recall correctly, it was fixed in short order...and they never released a postmortem

I think I remember that as well. If you read the changelog, it goes through a good deal of edge cases behaviors that they probably ironed out in the intervening time, like captured variables with the same name and nested blocks with it para

It's designed to be a CLI tool as opposed to a TUI so that it's more composable with other CLI tools. So you can use it as a building block to create a TUI, but it's not one by default.
