You probably don't want to set aliases in all bash invocations, as they can royally screw scripts.

For interactive shells the rc file is the proper place.

I’ve more often had my cronjobs screwed because they didn’t have the same aliases and PATH variables, rather than have them screwed because there was an alias for « ll ».

The dichotomy between login and non-login environments is source of hours spent debugging, especially for beginner to average developers.
