So . . . we've determined three things:

1. You think some measure of popularity of a decision makes it correct.

2. You don't like (t)csh.

3. You think your opinions are so self-evident that everybody will just
immediately understand them, their reasoning, and the best way to proceed
from there.

What we have not yet determined is:

1. Is it a good idea to replace (t)csh?
