A command line interface.

Now this is not to sound stupid, nor because I have an unhealthy relationship with Bash. What I mean is something like google: most people just enter their queries directly into the bar, and it just works - your software should too.

Then there are a few power users, who take the time to learn that you can improve you results with a few extra additions.

One example would be the use case, where I have discovered set of bugs that are properly in Freds code, so I want to assign them to him; it would be very useful if I could write something like this: "Components not aligned in about box;;as fred; pri high". Basically steal the google interface and allow people the maximal freedom to work with the software.
