I can relate to that as well ! I started my AVR project almost 2 years
ago now, but there have been many long periods of inactivity, and every
time I resumed work on the thing, I had to dig again in the man page of
avrdude, as well as that of subersion.
So an enhanced UI could be nice in that use case. However, I say UI not
GUI, because I would prefer a ncurses based UI, so it can fit in my
workflow which is all in terminal windows.
Hopefully it's possible to lay bith a ncurses or graphical UI on top of
avrdude ?
In the meantime, I will keep re-reading and re-reading man pages ;-)
