This all reminds me of the systemd ini-like syntax vs shell scripts debate. Shell scripts are superior, of course, but they do require deeper knowledge of unix-like systems.

I've been working with Linux since I was 10 (I'm much older now), and I still don't think I "know Linux". The upper bound on understanding it is incredibly high. Where do you draw the line?
