This brings me back to the late 90's when folks were writing Tcl/Tk (or whatever/Tk) wrappers for seemingly every CLI.
That was silly, but this makes sense for 1-offs. You write an internal CLI, realize the userbase isn't technical enough for it, and strap a GUI to it.
I've hit that plenty with things I made for an ops team that eventually got shifted to more BA/PM-types. I've usually turned them into a web-app, but it's a lot of lifting and a "thick client" approach would be nice.
I am spoiled, though, with Click, and don't ever want to go back to argparse, though. I'll keep an eye on it, though.
