  1. Given that there are multiple profile files i.e. all users on machine profile, current in user profile etc; and these are located in "user unfriendly" system locations, it would far more user friendly to be able to edit or at least initiated an edit action from a menu item than force the user to hunt down and edit the files manually.

  2. Provide a GUI-based comprehensive profile view showing all active profile elements available to a given terminal config, showing which level of profile they are being activated in. e.g. I want to see which profile added what alias or commandlets and their order of precedence so I can debug any clashes.

  3. Provide a standardised mechanism for packaging, sharing and installing profile extensions into given terminals e.g. sets of alias, additional commandlets etc which embody best practices or productivity enhancing toolsets e.g. git commands, github commands, bash aliases etc.
