SQL is for people whose problem domain is so simple that they don't need to do things such as, I dunno, compose queries.

[flukus → Daishiman]

I agree, but all too often composable queries are for people that don't know who their users are or what the want. If you build workflow centric UI's then the need for composable queries generally goes away.
