What's Good
Define a function with type hints; Typer generates the CLI with help text, validation, and shell completion. Rich integration provides beautiful output. Nested commands work intuitively.
The Catch
Complex CLI patterns sometimes fight the abstraction. Very dynamic interfaces may need lower-level Click access.
Verdict
CLI tools in minutes instead of hours.
