This is great point. Mozgression will always be a standalone tool, easy to use for non developers. We dropped the build bisection support out of mozregression because it was broken, hard to maintain, and also because where mozregression really shine is the easy to use bisection of pre-built binaries. We are improving the tool to make it even easier, a good example for that is the GUI that is currently developed. The mach interface is just a nice to have (to me), and it was cheap to add it - so we did it. No worries, the standalone mozregression will not be abandoned! And I'm glad to hear that feedback Benoit. :)
