Like many others, I use shell aliases when they are convenient.
The reason Chet includes aliases in bash and covers them in the
man page is because they are useful.
Can you give a single instance where an alias would work better

If you and Chris F.A. Johnson want to limit yourself to just
functions (which I also use at will), then knock yourselves out.
You have it backwards. It is aliases which are limiting, not
functions.
