Compare brush with alternatives

• brush vs yashyash is a POSIX-compliant shell with interactive line editing that is useful for testing portable scripts, but it has a smaller plugin and configuration ecosystem than bash or zsh.
• brush vs ksh 93u+mksh 93u+m continues the AT&T KornShell 93 and runs existing ksh93 scripts, though it is mainly distributed as source code and has a smaller community than Bash.
• brush vs ElvishElvish gives a scripting language with lists, maps and functions in a single static binary, but it is not POSIX compatible, so Bash scripts do not run unchanged.
• brush vs OilsOils provides OSH, which runs existing bash scripts with stricter error checking, plus the new YSH language in one small binary, though it is still before a 1.0 release.
• brush vs fishfish offers autosuggestions, syntax highlighting and tab completions without configuration, but it is not POSIX-compatible, so bash scripts often need changing, and it has no official Windows build.
• brush vs XonshXonsh mixes Python 3 code and shell commands in one language across Linux, macOS, Windows and Android, but its syntax differs from POSIX shells, so Bash scripts need changes.
• brush vs ZshZsh is an MIT-licensed interactive shell with command-aware completion and recursive globbing, but Zsh scripts are not portable to plain POSIX shells and configuration grows complicated.
• brush vs NushellNushell pipes structured tables instead of text and behaves the same on Windows, macOS and Linux, but it is not POSIX compatible and its language still changes between releases.
