I'm a new Ceph user and I did initially try the interactive mode, hoping it would help me discover the various commands I could run and work through their output. TBH I found it pretty useless for that purpose - no "help" command, no tab completion, no history or line editing, no way to ask "what options can I use next". Even the "10 closest matches" output doesn't include the brief command descriptions that "ceph --help" has. In its current form I don't think dropping it would be a big loss. Plus improving it enough to be helpful would be a big project and doesn't provide that much value over the regular CLI.
