There are tons of settings that can only be set through the config file; why are the few remaining options so much different that you need to set them on the command line? and how do you pass options when an app is not launched from the command-line (like from another Windows app, or from a desktop icon)?
As a developer, I find the ability to change -desktop/-managed, -debugmsg, -dll options on every run from the command line invaluable. If I had to edit config every time I wanted to change -debugmsg or -dll options, my progress would be at least cut in half.

Exactly.
I think a compromise would be to create a wrapper script that modifies the config file first to use appropriate settings and then calls the main Wine binary.
Ugh, yet another wrapper hack... ;-)
But that should actually be usable.
After all you'd have to change the Codeweavers Preview/Debian package wrapper script to support that, too.
