I'm no expert regarding the shell. I guess I've only spent 0.01% of my life in it. But I want to say "Hear the guy out". IMHO, there's _got_ to be room for incorporating new stuff, however good the old stuff is. The horse and cart were great, but the car, the automobile wow!
It's great to see innovation in the Terminal space. It's an interesting problem to tackle, because _so much_ of our interaction with computers (and therefore people and other computers) is done through the medium of text, and so much of our recorded knowledge is in books and other texts. It's hard to take a text-based interface out of the equation.
I, for one, would love to see a more generic, non-TTY text-based interface for systems management. You kind of get it with PowerShell, but then you're also sacrificing text-mangling for objects, which aren't as flexible (to me). And marrying yourself to a system that feels verbose and half-baked on non-Microsoft platforms.
So, for the time being, you can pry the terminal from my cold dead cursor.
