Well, I was more talking about just having an extra terminal program that launched an alternative shell (like oilshell / nushell etc.) and occasionally migrate one of your legacy scripts to that and see if it fits.

I am definitely not advocating for a switch overnight. That would of course be too disruptive and is not a realistic scenario.

In terms of POSIX I'd start with just removing some of the quirkiest command line switches and function arguments. Just remove one and give it 3 months. Monitor feedback. Rinse and repeat.

That's what I would do.

They can bait first and switch later.
