How about if a scripting interface is built first then some macros can be
written to do plugin selection, etc. Gnome project have scripting engine
which could be used.
Just my two cents.

There was some project to improve the cli. Some people volunteered and I
never heard back from them, so yes, things are lagging behind.
Ok. I'll do it myself. Once again, would a shell-like interface be ok ?
Imagine the following, is that ok ?
nessus -i localhost 1241 renaud password
nessus> ls
[ ] Denial of Service
[ ] Windows
[ ] Blah
nessus> select *
[X] Denial of Service
[X] Windows
[X] Blah
nessus> cd Blah
nessus/Blah> ls
[X] Foo
[X] Bar
nessus> deselect Bar
nessus> ls
[X] Foo
[X] Bar
