Cleanest way to take a[b[c]] to a[b][c]
2
$begingroup$
As indicated in the title I'm looking for the fastest way to transform a[b[c]] into a[b][c], and the natural generalization to an arbitrary chaining of arguments. I'm sure there's got to be a convenient way that I've overlooked.
In my cases a, b, and c can be any expression with any complicated internal structure they like.

Not particularly "clean," but it works:
Operate[Head[#], Level[#, 2][[2]]] & @ a[b[c]]
For the full generalization:
Nest[Operate[Head[#], Level[#, 2][[2]]] & , #, Depth[#] -2] & @
a[b[c[d[e]]]]
