To clarify, I am not saying that everything except for bare /bin/sh without line-editing is Wrong. I wasn't clear enough here. I think that bourne shell, bash, fish, zsh, and csh are all able to interact with the unix system in a way that crush, nushell, and other powershell-alikes cannot.

Can you elaborate on that more of interaction? What can bash, etc do that crush, etc can’t. Is this limitation inherent or easily amended?

I am the original author of both fish and Crush, and I honestly don't know in what way fish interacts with the OS in a way that Crush by virtue of it's design never could.

I know that Crush currently doesn't interact very well with external commands, but I don't see where that is an inherent restriction in the design rather than a missing feature.
