>Command line interfaces don't fit modern application usage. We simply can't do everything with pure text. I'd like to pipe my Skype call to a video analysis service while I'm chatting, but I can't really run a video stream through awk or sed. |

I guess you and I have different use cases and definition of "modern application usage". I assume you spend most of your day in a GUI, while I spend most of mine in a terminal.
Pipes can handle binary data and sure you could pipe Skypes output through sed or awk... Though something like ffmpeg is more likely, and it will happily take stdin as input.
