It's an ever-continuing debate: what is better, a graphical user interface, or a command-line interface? Graphical user interfaces may be easier to learn, but complicated operations may require a lot more user input than with a command line interface, which can perform several complicated operations by using a short sequence of words and characters. However, a CLI has a much steeper learning curve than a GUI. Google has always had a certain CLI-quality to it, and Stefan Grothkopp decided to take this a few steps further: say hello to Goosh.

I like it, but this is not really a "shell" at all, just some snazzy AJAX using the Google API. Still neat though!
Well, what do you think a "shell" is? It's a wrapper around operating system APIs and commands. This is obviously several levels up the stack from that. But, it's still technically a shell.
