With that clunky PIPE command every time you want to feed the output of 
one process into the input of another?

The whole command-line concept on VMS is fundamentally flawed. Notice that 
on *nix, the command line is not a single string, it is an array of 
strings. This makes it easy to pass special characters that might mean 
something to the shell, simply by bypassing the shell.

And this is another case where Cutler seemed unable to learn from his 
mistakes: he put the same brain damage into Windows NT.
