<div dir="ltr">I think having tag management in the WebUI would also help. Having the ability to select multiple nodes, and add or remove a tag would be great, and a huge time saver. It would actually remove the need from me to use the cli on OIL, most of the time.<div>

</div>Were scripts possible to write in straight Python, using a Python<br>
client API, we'd make a lot of people happy. Then the CLI becomes all<br>
about satisfying humans, and something like jsonpath would make this<br>
even more powerful.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>I'm not against having to write scripts using the API. I agree that the CLI won't solve every single problem we have out there, but at least, we should make sure that the basics are well supported and usable. For example, the only way to adding/removing tags (if not scripted) is via the CLI. Right, now, we basically deal with this on the daily basis and something that could take us 10 seconds to do, is taking us minutes. And this is from real user experience. </div>

Some might argue that we should also make the CLI good for scripting<br>
from sh/bash, much like some might argue ridiculously that we ought to<br>
inject heroin into kids to prevent them from using it.<br>
