opinions on the command line interface?

[coinsolidation]

Some of you may have noticed that Bitcoin 0.9 launched with a separate bitcoin-cli application.

I'm wondering how people feel about using this instead of the usual daemon directly?

context: with the new bitmark code base we have the chance to 'start as we mean to go on', which means I can fastforward the codebase to where bitcoin will be soon, with the daemon just a daemon, and bitmark-cli to interface via the command line.
