The problem with alternative query languages is that the people who have the most knowledge about creating queries and of the relational domains underlying their businesses are all experts in SQL. Introducing something else, then, means your most natural user base must migrate away from something they understand how to use well, and that's a hard sell.
So, until the ultimate query language is developed, I'll take SQL with pipes. It's an easy sell and good enough to eliminate 90% of my gripes about SQL.
