Cool idea, though I kept experiencing something akin to the uncanny valley, where it was "close enough" to a shell that it really bothered me that it didn't work as expected :)
Eg I immediately tried to use tab-completion (as have many others) only to land in the URL field. Then I tried to use "less" to read the file, only to have that not work. Finally had to look up the help.
I guess the UX lesson here is if you're going to emulate a really familiar interface, you have to do it fully or otherwise people's muscle memory is going to lead them astray.
Don't get me wrong, cool technical idea.
