Heavy professional strace user here.

afaics the wall clock time of the call is not implemented. This is effectively useless to me without that.

The second -ff is critical for following busy multiprocess stuff like a JVM.

If you aren't resolving every known struct then -x and -xx can be useful.

The FD resolution provided by -yy is not critical but can be a real time saver.

The flags I use most often are -ffttTyy -o -s

Uhh thanks for your feedback. That's very valuable to me since I did not actually know anyone who regularly uses strace. I will definitely look into implementing these flags then!
