Tbh I don't find their comparison to asdf particularly compelling. While the asdf shims have downsides, besides that I think I prefer the more principled and tightly scoped approach that asdf has.
> mise makes heavy use of aliases so you don't need to remember if it's mise plugin add node or mise plugin install node. If I can guess what you meant, then I'll try to get mise to respond in the right way.
I prefer that there is one, correct, way of doing things and my tools not trying to guess what I want. If there are two different commands they should do two different things and it should be clear what the difference is. Keeping track of different aliases is just additional mental overhead to me.
I acknowledge that all this is very much a preferential thing, so I guess if this works for author then more power to them.
