Typing directly into a shell is a smell for teams that manage unwieldy-without-automation amounts of machines.

Shells are just REPLs; use your editor to drive them. This helps document what exactly was done on a machine, and encourages code re-use (yank-put from last time) and other tidbits you get when editing (git repos, git search, etc.).
