It has always worked for me for the most part, and having a common command for everything is very convenient for me. alias y=yaourt and you have one of the simplest ways to do a complete update of your system, y -Syua I always ignored people's comments because the majority argues that it is "either too slow", or the "code is ugly". These same people would probably be horrified looking through vim's code :P These points alone do not make a very convincing argument for me, which is why I grew numb to them.
