I think M-x grep and M-x occur should have as similar a UI as possible. All else being equal, I agree. People have tried making interfaces for grep that separate the arguments. I think one such is actually installed as an alternative. But they are simply less convenient than M-x grep.
As the author of igrep.el, I respectfully disagree. By separating the arguments, you can provide access to independent completion (primarily for file names) and history (primarily for search strings/expressions). -- Kevin Rodgers
