People already use different shells, mksh, fish, and so on. With fish there is a non-posix shell in wide use.

Five people around the globe isn't wide use.

Heh, reminds me of how to get help with Linux back in the day. If you directly asked for help, you'd be told to RTFM.

Human psychology is fascinating!
