I don't think so. If someone runs a tool without args, the tool should do equivalent of "tool --help"

It is bad ux.

I expect a file formatter to format the files when I call it. Anything else would be surprising to me.

a new user should not expected to know whether to use "--info", "--help", or "-info" or "/info"

A power user can just pass the right params. Besides, it is not that hard to support "--yolo" parameter for that use case

Would you enjoy writing `rm --yolo file` instead of `rm file` every time?

		In this case, "file" is the arg, not --yolo. `rm` without any args returns `` rm: missing operand Try 'rm --help' for more information. ``` `oxfmt` should have done the same and `oxfmt .`, with the desired dir ".", should have been the required usage.

		Not taking a position but the design of rm strengthens the position that recursive by default without flags isn’t ok. rm makes you confirm when you want changes to recurse dirs.
