I think of it as a poorly designed DSL. Still, a poorly designed DSL, once memorized, is way more practical on the command line than typing out javascript function calls, even with the fat arrow syntax. Maybe it's a declarative vs imperative kind of thing. I hate having to reference manpages or use trial and error every time I need to sed/awk, but I don't know if wrapping commands in JS functions and results in Array.prototype is the best solution.
