Beginner unfriendly list command #724

Open nus-pe-bot opened 4 years ago

Note from the teaching team: This bug was reported during the Part II (Evaluating Documents) stage of the PE. You may reject this bug if it is not related to the quality of documentation.

Beginners are told to learn more parameters about the list command, but more experienced users are told it is optional, shouldn't it be the other way around? is it much easier for the beginners if we just list out everything for them and give advanced users the choice to filter based on certain conditions?

Team's Response

Based on our experience with the CELC teachers, we are told that the concept of optional parameters is very confusing for someone with no programming background. E.g. Training wheels are optional too but they are necessary for beginners.
