This is largely why companies don't tend to switch either. Though the
costs aren't in training the users so much as in training or finding
support staff, reimplementing macros and templates, and putting

I expect my shell to do things that make life easier for me, which
includes keeping all the commands I run relatively frequently in its

issue with keeping a lengthy history?
