Maybe I don't use Nmap enough, but I find the Nmap switches very difficult to remember. It usually takes a few minutes in the man pages, then a few more minutes in Google before I finally figure out how to do what I want. Perhaps this goes away with experience?

"Zenmap"[1] to the rescue. :)

It definitely goes away with experience. When you use nmap regularly you only use 10% of the switches most of the time and typing them after nmap becomes muscle memory.
