   I am also not so enthusiastic about directing people to use `npx cordova` for multiple reasons.
   
   I think the Cordova CLI is a bit big for this kind of usage, especially at the stage when someone *starts* a new Cordova project.
   
   The Cordova CLI behavior can change over time, major one has been what is configured in `config.xml` vs `package.json` which does not seem to be as consistently synchronized starting with Cordova 9.
   
   Also seems to be a bit extra to type out for every operation that is done on the project.
   
   I think it would be ideal if we could find a way to break the Cordova CLI into smaller, simpler tools. Just like someone could do `create-react-app` or `react-native init`, and then use npm package scripts to do the rest.
