I have to agree with Jeff: the only places I have really seen the shell vanish
it has been moving — albeit painfully slowly at times — to being replaced by a
more powerful programming model, universal scripting.
For example, much of the traditional Unix shell use on MacOS has vanished,
replaced by OSA and AppleScript, or by Automator. In KDE they are gradually
crawling towards more ubiquitous "desktop wide" scripting. I presume that
GNOME is doing more or less the same.

Daniel
