But what would you suggest as replacement for:
$ make && gdb || mail -s "Compilation failed" home
More generally sh scripts allow automatisation processes that you
can't simply do with emacs commands, it similar to using a mouse
actually. I don't think you can get rid of them.
Futhermore there are a lot of tools out there that are not integrated
to emacs if you do so, you don't have enough keys on the keyboard to
create bindings ;)
So I don't think you can realistically get rid of a shell

a terminal with a shell where all my ncurse based applications can
work properly and another screen where emacs lives.
