eshell is another lispy shell that's been in Emacs for a very long time. Elisp is probably my least favorite lisp that's commonly available, but eshell probably has the largest user base and is certainly the most mature out of all of these contenders. You can reasonably use eshell as your primary shell.
- anonacct37 9y agoI use eshell daily. It's nice to have a shell that also integrates with with list, but there's also a ton of value-add with integration with the emacs ecosystem. For example in eshell you can do: cd /ssh:some-server:/ top cd /docker:container:/ find-file etc/hosts
- rrix2 9y agoUntil you type '|', since eshell will buffer each process's output in an emacs buffer. It doesn't actually stream between pipes, which basically makes it useless for a complicated pipeline.
