Why is just recommended over mission-control?

[s3igo]

In the README, it states:

We recommend that you use just over this module.

I believe this is a great project, particularly because it has two advantages over just: the ability to work entirely within Nix, and the integration with pkgs.writeShellApplication, allowing the use of ShellCheck.

However, I’m curious to know why just is being recommended instead of this project. What are the reasons behind this recommendation?

You can still use pkgs.writeShellApplication when using just, by adding it to either packages or apps flake output, and then running nix run from the justfile accordingly. Alternatively, you can put those scripts in your devShells's nativeBuildInputs, and then directly use them in justfile, if you are using just always from the devShell.

just also provides shell completion, but mission-control does not (#4).

While using pkgs.writeShellApplication and the apps output in flake is convenient, I find myself having to write a lot of boilerplate, which adds unnecessary visual noise. That's why I prefer the approach taken by mission-control, as it helps reduce this clutter.

If the only difference between mission-control and just is shell completion, does that mean it's simply a matter of personal preference?
Personally, I think that once #31 is resolved, #4 can be resolved as well.

There's a matter of personal preference, yes. But there are objective differences as well, due to the features inherent to just itself (modules, etc.).

Anyway, I'm open to keeping this project alive, if anybody would like to contribute PRs (towards #31 and #4 for example), and maybe even become a maintainer down the line. It is just that I, as a maintainer, have moved to just for all my projects.

I see, I'm glad to know that mission-control isn't being deprecated. Thank you for answering my question!
