Terminals and shells are very powerful but can be complicated to learn, especially to get the best out of them. Does anyone know of a more GUI based command shell that helps a user or displays answers in a more friendly way? I’m aware of IPython, but even the syntax of that is somewhat convoluted, although it’s a step in the right direction.
Further to this, results could be presented graphically, e.g. wouldn’t it be nice to be able to pipe file sizes into a pie chart?
I found POSH, a GUI for MS PowerShell. This is pretty much what I intended. You have a command-line backend with a WPF GUI frontend. You can pipe results from command to the next and show graphical output.
