it should be nice to see a progress bar with the status for the current task

such as http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/console/helpers/progressbar.html

afaik no build / deploy tool does that, I'm 👎 on this

I'm not convinced of your statement, ok some tools don't have a progress bar but why idephix shouldn't be something more than the others deploy tools?

moreover a progress bar is a UX feature to describe the state of the task, do not think of it as a mere aesthetics feature.

btw capistrano exposes data for other ruby's progress bar libraries, rsync has the --progress option (not a real progress bar, but some infos are exposed) and pv is a linux command to create progress bar for tools such as rsync itself

I'll try to elaborate my point of view: Idephix is used to glue together the tools you normally need when creating a build script: phpunit, behat, gulp/grunt, symfony console command and so on. A lot of these tools already have some sort of progress bar, what is the benefit for the end user of duplicating this on Idephix?

I'd like to know what @kea @ftassi @ricfrank think about that.
