Built a couple of internal CLI tools using Node.js + Commander.js. Surprisingly productive.
Benefits: - Cross-platform support - Easy packaging via pkg or nexe - Familiar ecosystem
Example use cases: - Service scaffolding tool - Log query CLI with JWT authentication
Bonus: added spinner, chalk, and inquirer for a polished UX. Devs loved it.
