What would be time better spent is a interactive tutorial on how to best use the CLI tool to do tasks.
If you're going to design a wrapper around tools, then make the wrapper purpose-driven (like Handbrake is to FFMPEG and a related suite of command-line tools and libraries), as opposed to trying to chase the tail of the dragon exposing the features of a moving target, probably poorly.

Wrappers for a variety of applications already exist, and in some cases done really well (BurpSuite was the result of multiple smaller scripts.. I think). That could be a good path too, but will likely result in me maintaining software.
