For me the most nicest part to have a CLI interface to org-mode would be 
the fact that I could use all the command line magic instantaneous.
E.g.,

git log -n1 | org add "Remember to check the last commit"

could end up in

* Remember to check the last commit

This comment might fixes the bug Totti was dealing with


or a simple

ls | org add "The files I have not processed so fare"

could end up in

* "The files I have not processed so fare"

file1
file2
file6
file11

and a

org agenda next | xargs awesome-client notifyme("{}")

could create a pop up in my window manager (awesome wm) informing me 
about the next appointment in my agenda.

Even more into hardware details,
a udev-rule could be used to send a certain command to org-mode whenever 
a specific USB-stick is inserted in the computer.
People who like to clock there work might love this feature.

There are actually hundreds of possible nice combinations...


All the best

Totti
