I agree it's rare to need to run mythtv-setup, once the system is up and
running.
During the process of initial setup, it's not uncommon to have to run
mythtv-setup dozens of times in a day. The fact that you must go through
entire sections, and usually can't just go to the single thing you need
to mess with, this becomes very tedious.
Any effort at changing the setup methodology should take into account
that there are two very different use cases: Initial setup, and, once
that is done, the occasional need to tweak a setting or two, or perhaps
add a capture device or modify a remote control configuration.
Perhaps the two use cases should be separated in some way, they are
drastically different from each other. Your idea of complimentary methods
seems to be headed in that direction.
