"A shell that instead of working on character streams worked on structured and annotated data streams, so it could intelligently interpret what is going on?"
I'm not convinced that's worse, but I'm not convinced it's better for the task of being a shell. It's totally, unequivocally, way the hell better when you're trying to build anything large out of it, but taking everything back to byte streams at the interfaces means a huge ability to easily reformulate things to fit them together.
