I love CTEs.  It turns SQL into a decent programming language.  So do 
things like T-SQL, but they're vendor specific and so defeat the entire 
purpose.  But ANSI standard functionality like CTEs makes SQL turn the 
corner for me.

My biggest gripe is that, at least on V5R4, I can't create a CTE and 
then turn around and use that in an UPDATE.  That's a real limitation 
for me.  I don't know about V6R1, haven't had the chance to try it.
