    Ok.

    > and watch every step as it happens

    Yes, this is usually how scripts work.

    > When everything finishes, you get a summary table with timing for each step.

    > If a task fails, its output is shown and execution stops right there so you can investigate.

    Yes, I write my larger scripts to do such things...

    > Writing plain bash instead of Blade

    Yes, probably a good idea.

    Call me crazy (you're crazy!) but I'm not seeing the point.

      It's in the title: "a beautiful"

      It looks nicer.

      I use good old GNU Make.
