The reason i recommend aliases is not to save time, but it's just annoying
to keep typing the same command/s over and over again. If it does not annoy
you, I say "Go for it, it's good exercise for your fingers" but if it annoys
you, then create few aliases. They are good for cholestrol and blood
pressure.
