I mean they’re trying to be JetBrains but for Bash so it makes total sense to me why it would be a many many millions of dollars effort.

I think people forget that IDEs (which is essentially what this is) are a stupid amount of work. Then you have to add the rest of the business: sales, leadership, support, hr, ops. I mean a 25 person company $200k average total comp is 5mil annual burned cash just on salary.

This is shell completion that you can already do by hitting tab twice (if a definition file exists for your tool). If not, write a definition file.
