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. + +--=-=-= +Content-Type: application/pgp-signature + +-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- +Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) + +iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJRGnPUAAoJEO00zqvie6q8bbAQAI5fvk92ZLAfGBtkrFlKeeUI +ZC084x6Y7kh5ABP++9/XOVZcUxIXJtnCURR6Lt8Um8IphJ1krrBNljI/VpphoI8t +ubJtb5l0JO6jQ6JPFKIP1b76D+U/tIoUt1y/7Ct8CWCz1t9Dqk5OYC2CeV2xqSw5 +fJpRhBU6jK2zVTv1AeCG41Lg8rjaPRn2GOdFysbAo2UL/THXZLyVytE60WI4V948 ++WRugOp8fngvo35NXaQDW2yH6ra9tpSZoNGPVDRvwBlYdIWujXOSOUHix9SRm63N +ObBIFsClUeDY2x+M0ckEDHENjNGk5OFFrkN8B11CuDplbt+pXyRamZxEzzPEQQX1 +ed7zkb7LtxNrrQFwRVAJ6KeCO39ZsspdYwzsa6mwkK3nsLI4hnMULrB9wRlfqfzH +fV997bwdM3kYUHHPgmPPgB+nZTDjqCVH1EVDbvRJwKDtlD7ADYApZq6jpu41aCrm +S0urxcpiTNeEVFirXB0a5gOYGidn0FkMbx1vpdkrsodJDben2y9bU5rSZUd1rpWC +6DgzNCczPNDeChi0RWPf6qcHQGXc5tQJNwcXfBE29JH8gjeu8ZEjTRIJJqUY8KnE +v9iUneN8IpILfrTJCnxpaPwTp6HgLPev/adsg/QDP/7ErCIltT/qJdsowRuMnF33 +Fe4SSCV9hR8Xx7mFYWUW +=1SDP +-----END PGP SIGNATURE----- +--=-=-=-- -- 2.26.2
