I don't really care about "It's Just Text" vs "Data Typing FTW." There are different tradeoffs at play here, and to my mind that's ok. I'm just thrilled to have something that's: - Internally consistent - Well documented - Available by default - Full featured - Still being improved

Sure, I'm not thrilled with having to learn another language to get anything done. But it's so much better than what came before that I don't care. Besides, Bash and friends certainly have their quirks as well.
