   i have started work on this and the main issue i ran into was that some prompts use multiple lines which clack doesn't support.

   i tried to look into adding it to clack but it was not trivial and i did not want to start doing bigger changes to the flow so i paused there.

   I'm open to revamping some of the prompts to avoid this issue. I have not looked into our exact prompts right now - maybe there is a strong requirement to have those today but my intuition tells me that probably there is no such requirement.

   Q: why did you try clack over inquirer/prompts?

   its code is more modern, has less dependencies, and it's made by James :^)

   inquirer vs. clack

   ... i also like the default styling more 😳
