Probably a difference of opinion.  Under my guise as "normal user" I
hardly ever use the CLI (I'm not counting the emacs UI use of the CLI
under the hood).  In my developer hat I use it more frequently.  But
maybe (likely?) all of our users are also developers.  Even as a
developer, though, most of my CLI usage is scripted at this point.

But don't get me wrong, the CLI is one of the things that makes notmuch
so incredibly awesome.  It's an email swiss army knife that's there when
you need it.  But given that even I often need to look at the man page
during my occasional CLI usage, I just don't want to see it get to
overcrowded.

In any event, I've certainly said more than my peace on this issue.
Jani's series looks good to me (although, ironically, it's missing
documentation updates!).

jamie.
