Hi Gary! they provide same basic features, but Airlines is IMHO a little stronger in 3 points:
* drives users on pure command pattern implementation, while in JCommander you can have just a container of passed parameters; * simplifies the building of commands tree, such as `git remote add` or `git remote show` while on JCommander it is not intuitive how to reach the 2nd level of commands (undocumented anyway) * help usage is handled out of the box, while in JCommander you have to handle it manually.
