Imagine that every snap can provide a terminal shell command. The mythical "comfy" framework snap could thus provide a traditional shell, other snaps can provide CLI environments suitable for them. So if I install an ICOS snap, I can say something like:
I was pondering much the same basic idea. I'd sort of like a bash shell by default, but it does seem like a per-snap CLI would be really nifty.
That way I get my comfy Linux shell that I've been using for two decades, but an Ubuntu Core router could have an IOS style shell, or a home automation unit could have some really easy to use shell for turning on the kitchen lights or displaying the interior temperature. All the better if it's the default experience but optional.
And that's one of the really compelling strengths of having modular snaps that fit into Ubuntu Core after all: task and application independence.
