Well, let's put it the way i am not plunning to work on CLIs. I do only
what i need , and i don't need it.

If you insist on expanding the argument to other audiences, R users seems
to be pretty happy with R and RScript. They don't have a CLI (meaning
parameters passed thru cli option flags) for any single method in any of
their 5000+ library packages, nor did i hear a single time any one would
request one on the R list. Obviously, i haven't read the entire R user list
since the beginning of its existence, but my sample is fairly comprehensive
there.
