This is a good thing, competition is good for economics. As more shells
are developed, there will be competition. The shell that wins, or has
the most supporters (by way of programs being made for it), will outlast
all others. In order to be the best, all shell developers will try
really hard to create a good shell, and in the end, all will be superior
to zshell.
You saw what happened when only zshell was on the market, there weren't
any new updates to it because it had a monopoly. Monopolies aren't
good, that's what microsoft was accused of; taking all the market share.
Good example is apple/IBM in the personal computer industry. Apple
(Steve Jobs and this other Steve guy) made the Apple II's, then IBM came
out with a PC, then Apple came out with Macs. But IBM's design was so
open that many other companies could make IBM clones easily. IBM and
these cloners took a lot of the market from Macs. Both companies still
trying to outdo each other, which results in both computers being good.
