I think autocomplete and sub commands can help a lot with discoverability.
I don't want to praise the Google Cloud CLI, but one nice thing is you can do something along the lines of
$ gcloud <tab>
-> list of services you want to manipulate
$ gcloud servicename <tab>
-> list of action you can do to service
$ gcloud servicename actionname --help
--> detailed information on how to apply that action
It isn't perfect - you don't get this behaviour out-of-the-box with every shell - but it is a lot better than reading a man page with a list of a million flags.
