Scripting isn't the issue, but for tab completion: the boundary is often at a space or parenthesis so that you need to type the backslash + char to continue tabbing to completion

Believe me, whitespace-correct scripting is absolutely an issue.

You're right that it's annoying when filenames diverge right at a character that must be escaped.
