Indeed, it is just a wrapper script, but I think the value is not in the `docker run` script, but in the preconfigured images.

With a premade list of cli tools, you won't have to figure out which image to use, write your own Dockerfile if there is no official docker image, how to mount the current directory (try that on windows), which extra volumes to mount (for persistence of npx packages, or .aws credentials, for example), and the 'aliases' will be compatible with unix and windows too.

This tool seemed handy to me, as it was basically a packaged version of what I was already doing with many separate bash scripts. I haven't seen those tools you mentioned, but I'll have a look.
