Most GUIs (at least from big vendors) are built with some basic concepts of user happiness in mind:

  • warn about potential accidents. (--interactive)
  • confirm success. (--verbose)
  • documentation optimized for inattentive readers. (man pages: conciseness)

More detailed explanation can be found in Joel's article "Biculturalism".

Similar to #6, I'm not exactly sure how to add this. I don't want the list to be too complicated. I understand GUIs and CLIs cannot be 1 to 1 equivalent. But if you have good ideas please go for it :)

I'll try, but I can't predict when I will have time for it, as the priority is rather low compared to my other projects. If anyone else has a good idea, go ahead, no need to wait for me. :-)
