There are two reasons I prefer command line tools over python/R scripts:
1) Most of the time, I don't need to save anything at all, as they are one-off data manipulations
2) IO and control flow are already taken care of. No specifying that you want to read from stdin, no looping, no specifying how you want to print out. For a one-liner action, that is a ton of boilerplate.
