I keep on wondering why these shells can't come up with something better than improving previous shell syntax by little by only providing poor better alternatives. I somehow think there is a need to rethink shells from scratch to make them less mentally demanding and readable in the command prompt and scripts themselves. I really haven't seen anything that I would like to use so far. Neither zsh, tcsh or any other of the more popular ones as far as I remember from the last weeks "personal research".
