I dislike the move to clap; or rather the move away from docopt. I've yet to find a command line parser (in any language) that is as elegant and out-of-your-way as docopt is, and I think I would need to be convinced to abandon it.
The decision to move to clap was for greater control.
It allows global flags like --verbose without cluttering the usage like it would with docopt.
It also allows optional commands. With signing becoming a feature the signing related commands may not always be present. This is something that would be complicated using docopt
I think docopt is great at what it does, but it is better at serving small applications with simple interfaces. This project needs the better control that clap offers
