Seems interesting.

Just wondering why not just setting an environment variable with .basrc?

The purpose of the tool is to allow users register aliases for their desired directories (like project directories, workspaces etc) and then with the help of bash completion navigate to them very easily using their aliases. Environment variables wouldn't make this process that easy.
