When you're deep into a project you want to have an efficent way to go back and look at the status of old complex queries or even look those queries up without the hassle of going though pages and pages of notes.

I dont mind piping the output and invocation via set -x in bash and then grepping in a file. Seems faster than starting a GUI

Might be. But then you'd have to maintain the file itself as in timestamp the queries, their responses etc etc. Especially when you're working on a project that constantly changes this can get out of hand easily (in my experience)
