>One thing I hate about CLI tool though, is that it's very hard to edit long commands in terminal.

Only a madman would do this. I don't know anyone that's in the middle of R&D that builds directly in the CLI that's sane. Everyone tries it, and just at the point of losing sanity, does the rational thing of building the command in a text editor for a simple copy&paste into the CLI later.

Yep, or turn it into a script and use an IDE/Vim/etc and test in the terminal.
