the main problem with the UNIX Philosophy Of Having Lots Of Little Tools That Each Do One Thing is: you can never remember the name of each one, or how it works
for a while i've been thinking about writing something where you'd have like, a console window, and you hit a button, and it brings up a big (autocomplete/searchable/hierarchical) list of all the tools (and custom scripts you've written), and when you choose one, you're given a kinda interface describing the parameters the command takes, with input fields for each argument, where you can type in the value you want (or pick it from a list or something)
@jk I seem to recall a script like this, but can't remember the name (ironic, no?).
