I can't think of any other examples, and I certainly can't speak for other users--it's just been my preference ever since my first intro to Unix. And it's not just termlib programs, I have a built-in dislike for any programs that exhibit the initial no-arg behavior of just sitting there silently awaiting further input with no clue, e.g., awk and Perl (fortunately I know and love Perl and know how to get help for both it and awk). So, knowing I can get man help even without no-arg help is good enough for my whines!
