Hi Matt, I share Ed's opinion: Many of my tasks that are currently easy to accomplish with the flexibility of a shell will become nearly impossible without, and because these tasks require some flexibility I cannot simply replace them with jobs running on a CI instance. And e.g. there's really no benefit of running a rsync in a Jenkins job (with a lot of try and error involved) compared to do the same work in an efficient manner from the shell.
