I respectfully disagree. While it does make sense to have fewer --options on regular usage command lines for convenience/speed, I think the --options are fundamentally important for relatively new users to the environment and I certainly don't think you should be alienating them. >From my point of view, I'd hate to see something like zenity(1) with a whole bunch of short options.
