… I had to read that twice, but just so I understand the --quiet flag makes emacsclient display more to screen? Perhaps it should be renamed to --louder. Going from the help tooltip:

$ emacsclient --help
…
-q, --quiet		Don't display messages on success

I was under the distinct impression this flag would make emacsclient well, quieter.

Best regards,
