Do you find the twirling "|" useful when you boot?  Do you find setting
``hash'' in old FTP clients useful?  Many will answer yes, as they give
the user feedback the ____ is doing something.

"-v" is useful to give an overview of the progression of the commands.
Also I have occationally realized I mv,cp,ln'd files to the wrong place
due to shell wild-card expansion.
