FAQ - PaulNegoescu/laravel-crafty GitHub Wiki

Why are all the assets inline, isn't that a bad practice?

It is a bad practice, but this is a self contained bundle that you should only use in your development environment. You need to be able to easily disable and remove it, therefore we opted to have all assets inline or from CDNs, thus preventing the need to publish the bundle.

Why should I use this instead of bash aliases or other productivity tools?

It's up to you, if you'r a GUI fan use this, if you are not you are free to choose your tools. There is a nice plugin for Sublime Text out there or you can use whatever else feels right to you.

Does Crafty offer any advantages over other productivity tools?

Besides the obvious "lazy man" approach to commands not much, you can only see previous commands you ran right now. In the near future we're planning to have a "re-run previous command" feature (one-click of course). Also planned is a feature to easily see all existing migrations/views/controllers/models/bundles/etc. all in the GUI, so you don't have to switch back to your editor for this. Other cool features might be added in the future, and we're looking for improvement ideas, just leave an issue for us here on github.
