I guess I'm struggling because I also do like the IDEA of the unix commands being text that is piped around through commands so I do enjoy the concept of the purity of that mechanism.

This is the difference between a command (which is discarded after it's executed), and production code (which you probably want to keep around for a little bit).

But I'm in the same boat. I love the expressiveness of chaining a whole thing into a single call, but I have to break it apart for my own sanity.
