The work that culminated in Claptrap (https://sr.ht/~ser/claptrap) was a couple of years of reviewing flag libraries for Go every few months. I decided to publish this as a reference for other developers looking at flag libraries. https://hg.sr.ht/~ser/flag-libs-analysis It's looks at 19 flags libraries and lists LOC and complexity metrics. It has an (incomplete) features table. Maybe someone else will find it useful. Let me know if you have any suggested additions!
