The problem I have with [pipenv shell] is that the act of manipulating the shell environment is crappy and can never be good. What all these "X shell" things do is just an abomination we should not promote IMO.
Tools should be written so that you do not need to reconfigure shells. That we normalized this over the last 10 years was a mistake and we are not forced to continue walking down that path :)
