I do not agree. Aliases are much simpler to use than functions.
Please provide examples.
The following is a part of my aliases. I'll have to write much more code if
I define them all as functions.
This is "much more code":
F(){ find "$@"; }
than:
alias F=find
I don't think functions are better than aliases here. Any idea?
Many reasons why functions are generally better have already been
given.
