I see people talking about doas saying it’s just like sudo but with less features. I’m just wondering if there is any situation where you should use doas or if it’s just personal preference.

I think it’s because sudo only requires a password the first time on each shell.

sudo maintains ‘sudo state’ for 15 minutes. After that you need to enter the password again.

It’s entirely configurable but I think by default sudo will “cache” your authentication for a period of time so multiple commands in the same session only need the password entered once. You can even configure sudo to not need a password for certain commands (although obviously you need to be careful you’re not opening a hole in your security).
