Currently, every few months, I switch between Task and Just. Started with Task, went to Just, now I'm using Task again. Procrastination at its best

How do you evaluate each tool? What do you miss on each that keeps you switching between them?

I understand you, though. I keep switching between Firefox and Chrome-based browsers because each has its pros and cons...

Passing parameters kinda sucks, someone else made a comparison in another thread about named parameters and how easy it is to pass and define them in Just. Love taskfile otherwise

Input parameter with - - is not really intuitive. It works, but the just way to handle input parameters is way more easier to remember

Personally I disagree, I think `--` is very intuitive.

Maybe it isn't super common knowledge, but `--` is in line with the POSIX argument parsing convention[0] and is used by many (most?) GNU/BSD tools and many other tools such as `kubectl`. This StackOverflow thread[1] also has some information about it.
