:: Ok, made tentative corrections now. If someone knows how to better express the facts, shoot.
:: As an aside, '''this table is severely out of proportion'''. Someone impartial (i.e. ''not me'') should prune it to stuff that isn't cherry-picked to display one's own favorite shell in the best light.

== Irrelevant information/ reduce size of table ==
'''This post is a continuation/combination of several previous topics'''
This table is far to large. It wont even display properly in my browser due to its size. I think the following changes should be made.
# Lower the number of shells being discussed
#* We dont have to list every Unix shell. bash, csh, and ksh is enough to get the general idea across.
#* In the same vain, we don't need to list every windows shell. CMD.exe and PowerShell is enough
#* There is no need to list Python, Ruby, and other stand alone programming languages. Just list the top 2-3 for each major OS brand.(*nix, Windows, and Mac)
# Lower the number of features discussed
#*We don't really need to include ''everything'' about each of these shells. For example, I think it's great that Scsh can do lambda functions, but it has no place in this article. That information can be discussed on the page for Scsh.
#*Important features to list are those that would separate the shells apart for a beginning user. Examples:
#*#Background information such as the usual environment(Posix, win32), license, and year created
#*#Platform Independence
#*#Unicode
#*#Functions
#*#Typing Discipline
#*#Pattern Matching
#*#Command History
#*#Whether or not arrays can be used, and whether or not arrays can be multidimensional
#*#*Array slicing may also be noteworthy.
#*#Aliases
#*#Ability to 'pipe' isn't import to list since all of them do it except BeanShell and RubyShell which shouldn't even be listed in this article.
#*#*Ability to comment and the ability to redirect streams should be left out also for the above reason.
