No, the problem is that the proposal is not enough *bold*.
A "barely better" version of something entrenched rarely win (maybe only if the old thing not get updaters).
This is the curse of OpenOffice < MS Office.
This is in fact the major reason:
> Great, now you just need to build and maintain shims for every tool in existence
MOST of that tools are very bad at ux! so inconsistent, weird, arcane that yes, is MADNESS to shim all of them.
Instead, if done from first principles, you can collapse thousands of cli arguments, options, switched and such things in few (btw a good example is jj vs git).
This is how could be: Adopt an algebra similar to the relational model, and a standardized set of most things millions of little tools have (like the commands help, sort, colors, input/output formats, etc) and then suddenly you have a more tractable solution.
ONLY when a tool is a total game changer people will switch.
And what about all the other stuff? In FoxPro (that in some ways show the idea you just preen `!` and then run the shell command you need. That is enough (editors and such? Much better to redo in the new way, and everyone knows that vim and emacs fan never change ways)
