Any plans for an Edge CLI?

Firefox and Chrome both have a robust CLI that can do things like start with a specific profile, launch URLs, etc. Any plans to add something similar to Edge? Where I find this really valuable ...

Dave Glick have you tried running Edge with your command line that you use for Chrome? It should work. I just tried the one you pasted in your initial question, and it seems to work as expected - but I could be wrong. A lot of the parameters are new to me.

If you have specific examples of some of the parameters not working, we'd love to hear about those...

johnjansen OMG, that actually worked. Can't believe I didn't bother to just try it. I ended up following the advise at https://superuser.com/questions/377186/how-do-i-start-chrome-using-a-specified-user-profile#comment2078790_377195 to figure out the internal profile name, but after that everything worked perfectly.
