It really is a matter of personal opinion, but I strongly believe that
aliases are a huge help.
If you can type at the rate of 100wpm, you still would save time by having
an alias list. Each individual task probably took me about 20% less time to
complete because of my aliases. And since the list only takes me about 2
minutes to type up, I have extra time in the end to troubleshoot problems.
Not as much time is spent typing.
One thing I don't understand is how "putting a long list of alias into the
running-config will cause much more confusion than there already is". The
section in the running-config that contains the aliases is towards the
bottom and is seperate from all other commands. It really doesn't cause any
confusion.
Also, when you say, "In the lab, you want to be as accurate as possible",
what do you mean? I don't understand how using the full command is more
accurate than aliases.
