Well, maybe, at first glance. But when you read (and write) it again and again and again it quickly becomes a PITA. It's similar to a nested pull-down menu - when you use it the first time, it's nice that you don't have to remember the exact command name and/or options to perform operation foo - but when you find yourself doing this many times a day, you will highly prefer to type a short command on the command line over having to pull down three or four nested levels in some pull-down menu.
