Multiple shells... but it used to not have that. I wanted it for a long time,
but cannot find any public stating of that before 1995. But from that year:

    if DOS were a combo of UNIX and Mac it would be cool.  I
    just wish we had something that combined the two. In theory
    that is the way both UNIX and Mac are growing

    But UNIX does have some advantages over the Mac... a CLI
    would be a great addition to the Mac.  I would say that
    between Mac and UNIX you have the best operating systems
    around.

    The Mac is not the end all in computer technology.  Where it
    fails, UNIX excels. Between the two, there is almost no task
    that computers would be used for that can not be done.  And
    one or the other will beat the competition in almost every
    area.

In that last one I spoke of piping commands in a GUI. With Automator /
Shortcuts, Apple does now have this to SOME extent. Would like to see that
grow. They also have some of that with "Shortcuts" on iOS.
