I'd say the counter example to this is Powershell - if you've ever used it, it's quite verbose and can be less than pleasant to write. I think having both options is the best, when you're getting started it's nice to have verbose, highly self explanatory commands. As you get more familiar with the environment, it's nice to move to something more concise.
