WShell runs without the CLI.  So does AmigaShell, the rumored shell
in the rumored 1.3 workbench release.  Probably more too; these
just spring to mind.

If you're talking about stuff like Matt's shell, your talking first
generation shell vs second generation.  Of course Matt's is still THE
shell for Csh compatability; while WShell and AmigaShell try to
maintain some CLI compatibility (like #? wildcards, semicolon to start
a comment, etc).

Machines, OSs, languages, editors, shells -- it's all religion.
