I have always been split about using a shell in Emacs. While it would save me some context switch to
do tasks, it's a text buffer and I have always found confusing that:
1) Keybindings that I use VERY often (`C-p`, `C-n`, `C-r`, ...) do something else
2) environment variables and alias are not loaded correctly (depends on the emacs shell?)
3) unsure what happens when launching GUI applications or handling/redirecting streams (stdout,
stderr)

So I end up using a terminal emulator.
