  The terminal is a power tool. Making it "friendly" would be counter-
  intuitive to its function (IMHO, but what do I know, I'm not a hardcore
  dev xD). ~cassidyjames
  
  l think that if the user is forced to use a terminal, like me when I was
  a newby to Linux, he/she will try to execute the commands that appear in
  posts of forums, and guides on the Internet. Almost all of these
  instructions are for bash.  By this reason I think bash should stay
  there. --gandreoliva
  
  There is ZSH out, if you mean that. But I like BASH. --gotwig
  
  bash is already pretty friendly for those who need to use a shell. Don't
  think this is an area worth spending time on. --ttosttos

+ I agree with shnatsel's direction -- simply install `fish` and make
+ pantheon-terminal use it by default. It's an extremely minimal and
+ unobtrusive effort.
