If you aren't already aware, the recent versions of awscli have started accepting the full JSON payloads, which I realize seems like it's worse but in my experience one usually interacts with a few common cases and leaving the JSON around for editing is both a great reminder and saves a bunch of keystrokes.

I know awscli is trying to use skelton JSON to save keystrokes, and it certainly helps a lot of adhoc operations to be done quickly without spending precious cognitive load. I use JSON parameter template in my shell script, but feel like it is not for "command line tool". It is just my feeling, but still hard to neglect since I'm really used to UNIX-like command line tool.

Oh, yes, I hope my comment didn't come across as "you can replace jungle with a ton of JSON"; I was trying to speak to the comment by @rem7 about trying to remember all the crazy syntax of the command line.

I haven't tried jungle yet, but I am glad it exists and I thank you for open sourcing it to improve our aws experience, too.

Thanks! reporting issues and pr are all welcomed!
