I have tried to like it, but the lack of input redirection is just pathetic. Worse, rather than just calling a real shell when it detects attempted input redirection, it chastises you and refuses to do anything. Plus, while Emacs' "M-x command" completion is great, Eshell was still about as good as mid-90s Bash the last time I tried it. And then there's the cost of learning yet another slightly-different shell syntax. While this could probably be done right, it hasn't been in the 10+ years of Eshell's existence, so I'm not holding my breath.
