One thing I really like about Eshell is how you can make the whole buffer editable. Printed too many lines by accident? Just mark the whole region and do M-x delete-non-matching lines. Other fun things to do include using output redirection to insert text straight into buffers! One last cool thing is that Eshell comes with it's own little pseudo-devices like /dev/kill and /dev/clip, you can probably guess what they're for. Although as awesome as it is, there are still some places where I have no choice but to use a real terminal. This is mostly curses-like interfaces and stuff. I find it funny that the author omitted one of the biggest missing features in Eshell: input redirection, you just can't do it. Here's further reading for anyone interested in Eshell, I think this is the most comprehensive little guide out there: http://www.masteringemacs.org/article/complete-guide-mastering-eshell http://www.masteringemacs.org/article/complete-guide-masteri...
