I didn't quite gel with it, seemed overly, well opinionated for no meaningful performance or otherwise improvement to any other simple prompt.

please stop piping into bash or sh. force people to use the editor, read the install script, and tell them how to run it

"curl | sh" certainly feels wrong, but in the end, even if you download and read the script before running commands, let's be real: you are going to run a binary that you didn't inspect.

Not saying you shouldn't check your scripts, I usually do, I like to know where the files are going in case the installer messes up, but the risks tend to be overstated compared to running the executable itself.
