> If anything, why not get rid of ls-lisp?

Because (a) it's much smaller than Eshell, so better suited for
something that's preloaded; and (b) it supports quite a few options
that Eshell doesn't, AFAIK, and which Windows users might expect to be
available, as they are available in "other file-system browsers".

I actually think that getting rid of any of these two is not a good
idea, but that's me.
