Emacs is actually straight-up my shell now.

I was bound to do it at some point...

,----[ eshell.c ]
| #include <unistd.h>
|
| int main(int argc, char *argv[])
| {
| return execlp("emacs", "emacs", "-f", "eshell", (char *)NULL);
| }
`----

Compile
Install as /bin/eshell
Add /bin/eshell to /etc/shells
chsh

I'm surprised it took you this long to do it. I always figured the evolution of Edward O'Connor would stop when you had a terminal growing out of your arm and had written food.el and respiration.el.

Actually, I made Emacs my shell once before in my life, but I Was Not Ready. I'm ready now, and it's surprising how much it rules. I'm taking notes on the experience, because it's not usable out of the box.

You will really start to worry me when you replace /sbin/init with emacs.

Updated, expanded, etc.
