For me It's laziness. With piem I can now M-x piem-am in the article,
then select the project (using vertico + orderless), then the branch
(vertico + orderless), then tell it the branch I want to create (or
not), and bam done. Nice!

The debbugs one does a bit too much for me, for example it also builds
(with the wrong make command on macOS (should be gmake). And VC is not
so my thing, also.
