I first started using Ivy because I wanted a quick way to download jars to a common place that was organized in a way that made sense, and I could add Project Libraries from in IntelliJ IDEA. All I wanted to do was:

ivy install <name of things>

And have the jars and all of it's dependencies downloaded so I could use them to compile. Of course I found the java -jar ivy.jar syntax incredibly verbose, so I created an ivy wrapper from Basecamp's sub project.

The CLI is growing along with my annoyance for not being able to do simple things quickly with Ivy, but my plan for the CLI is to have clearly defined ways of accomplishing simple tasks, like publishing a snapshot to your local repo for development purposes.
