Xiki Alternatives
Xiki is described as 'makes the command line friendlier and more powerful. Xiki Shell (xsh) lets you use Xiki from command line, in a way that augments your current favorite shell (bash or zsh)' and is an app in the OS & Utilities category. There are more than 10 alternatives to Xiki for a variety of platforms, including Linux, Mac, BSD, Windows and Cygwin. The best alternative is GNU Bourne Again SHell, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Xiki are fish (Free, Open Source), Zsh (Free, Open Source), dash (Free, Open Source) and Nu Shell (Free, Open Source).
