There should be, at least intuitively, a mild negative bias to adding a marginal dependency, even once you're dependent on pypi. We're lucky enough to not be dealing with a dumpster fire ecosystem like nodejs, but it's still a good habit. For me, writing your interface with click doesn't seem too much better than writing it with argparse, certainly not enough to get over the (small) activation energy of a non-stdlib dependency
