No UNIX Aficionado from my day ever had to leave emacs to do their work including their work on the side to define the meaning of life.

Oh, I’m sorry. Discussions of emacs are reserved for the religious forum. (LOL)

In python you can write shell scripts that are object oriented, use existing frameworks and roll your own objects/framework if you need to and can do it with or without a GUI ( ie. The Idiot Interface ).

There is about 4 or 5 other utilities with the same power in UNIX. They’ve been around for decades! Welcome to the party pal!

Only if someone else mentions vi, the text editor that's better than poking your eye out with a sharp stick.

Ah, yes, emacs: the best operating system ever that included a free text editor. :-)

I don't engage in religious arguments, been avoiding them for 35+ years. Actually 45+ if you include TECO, the editor that masquerades as line noise.

All well and good as long as you're a pure Linux shop.

The objective of DSC is to provide a common platform and scripting language for cross platform management.
