But I might be biased. If "having to call the shell to use the most valuable feature of the shell" means "has all the advantages" I guess so. If "being 50-100 times slower unless you write 50-100 times the code for the tasks the shell is best at" is "lacking any of their shortcomings or flaws" then I agree. > correct. Which rules out windows for being usable at all. That was before Interix.There's stuff above here
