But if I want bigger hierarchy (for sure I will !) 'zfs list'
becomes less readable:

I would like to customise column width to have nicer view of the
hierarchy.
Wouldn't be good to have some sort of configuration file in which I
could set up the column
width ?
What about an environment variable so that non-root can also
customise their view?
That's even better idea ! Or config file per user
(~/.zfs*-something). 'zfs'
would read that file and format data before displaying them.
Perhaps this should be left entirely under user control using the
method that "ps -o format" uses. Why reinvent the wheel?
$ zfs list -r -o used,referenced,available,name,mountpoint cube/builds
I must be missing something here because that command works just fine.
If you use -H as well there is always one tab between each column.
What is the actually problem here that the existing list -o doesn't
solve ?
My interpretation: more specific control of column widths and flexibility to place
the name in the first column. Further, to many people, tabs are evil.
For example, instead of:
bash-3.00# zfs list
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
dns-pool 197K 43.1G 25.5K /dns-pool
dns-pool/zones 100K 43.1G 25.5K /dns-pool/zones
dns-pool/zones/dns1 74.5K 43.1G 25.5K /dns-pool/zones/dns1
dns-pool/zones/dns1/local 24.5K 43.1G 24.5K /dns-pool/zones/dns1/local
dns-pool/zones/dns1/root 24.5K 43.1G 24.5K /dns-pool/zones/dns1/root
the desire is for:
bash-3.00# zfs list
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
dns-pool 197K 43.1G 25.5K /dns-pool
dns-pool/zones 100K 43.1G 25.5K /dns-pool/zones
dns-pool/zones/dns1 74.5K 43.1G 25.5K /dns-pool/zones/dns1
dns-pool/zones/dns1/local 24.5K 43.1G 24.5K /dns-pool/zones/dns1/local
dns-pool/zones/dns1/root 24.5K 43.1G 24.5K /dns-pool/zones/dns1/root
I suggested a syntax similar to "ps -o <format>", viz:
zfs list -o \
name="NAME-----------------------",used="USED----",available,referenced,mountpoint
Users would probably specify spaces instead of hyphens, but it is difficult to
show that effectively in word-wrapped e-mail readers.
