I cant agree more with the importance of consistency UI in CLI programs. It's unfortunate that newer programs overlook it. I'm glad for the recent changes from the flag package which has also been annoying me previously ;) When i type blah -h or --help i expect help to pop up.

Heck, even git doesn't follow this and as a result is a little more painful that needs to be. Imagine a GUI program with every window having a different close, resize, etc button/menu. Hell.
