What kills me about pipelines is when I pipe into xargs and then suddenly can't kill things properly with Ctrl+C. Often I have to jump through hoops to parse arguments into arrays and avoid xargs just for this. (This has to do with stdin being redirected. I don't recall if there's anything particular about xargs here, but that's where it usually comes up.)
