The notmuch-folder command is definitely a nice primary interface to
notmuch for some people. I'm seriously considering making it the view
that one gets with "M-x notmuch" (after the notmuch-folder view gets a
little sprucing up).

As for notmuch-search, I find it very convenient to have the ability to
do a "M-x notmuch-search" (or perhaps even a simpler keybinding for it)
From any random emacs buffer. If you don't live inside emacs, and just
have a single emacs frame open for notmuch sake, maybe that's not as
interesting.
