The power of stdin & stdout

I think we should develop softwares using stdin and stdout for input and output. With stdin and stdout, we'll get the following benefits:

  1. It's easy to port onto other platforms.
  2. It's easy to make GUI shells, and they are absolutely native!
  3. It's easy to make a automatically test and log the test input & outputs.
  4. It's easy to integrate various programs together.

Any more? To be continued :)
