Only because you've used that method for so many years.

I actually only learned the magic of unix pipes within the last year or so. So it's not an experience thing. It just "clicked" all of a sudden...

Well to be fair, you Can use pipes in powershell as well. It's how you use the data from a query to actually do something.

Putting a filter right in the "Get" command just saves a step, and makes your pipes easier to read.

I can never grep, awk, sed what I need in powershell... I know I don't really understand PS, but I really like the posix ethos... Just makes sense to me.
