Where is the "roll your own" option in the poll?

There is no roll-your-own, because this is security-sensitive, and most people who try to roll their own security-sensitive code do it poorly.

This thread taught me to use sudo -i (instead of -s) for security reasons.
I tried doas in the past, and wasn't really satisfied, the persist feature being more aimed towards BSD than Linux (and typing password for every command is annoying), but I wanna give it another try.
Hence my question : is doas -s some kind of equivalent of sudo -i in terms of feature and security ?

Code:
sudo -i
and
Code:
su -
and
Code:
doas
if it's ever "required"... openbsd loves doas, otherwise, sudo's fine.
