This is it for me too... with Deno, I can write a fully contained one-off script with a shebang and use it for general shell scripting.. with node, it was never that simple. Though having to use the `#!/usr/bin/env -S -- deno run ...` is still a little more awkward.

Direct imports that the runtime caches for you, vs node_modules is way easier to deal with most of the time.
