> like with apt/brew + 20 handwritten bash scripts

I just use apt, been doing it for 20 years, it works great. I've never in my time, heard of or knew anyone who wrote 20 (or any) bash script wrappers around apt. The one year I was painfully forced to use a Mac for work, brew worked similarly to apt, just used it, no need to wrap it with shell scripts.

Comparing highly functional and capable systems like apt and brew to neanderthal technology sounds like hype.

> It's also great for the AI era

That also sounds like more hype, similar to the pro-nix other comments so far which tout AI and similar to the article which I did read, also sounds like hype.
