I used to use rc on Linux. The details are hazy, but the two main things I remember are:

1. There were lots of little compatibility problems. ssh-agent and gpg-agent can output either Bourne shell or csh. rc can't parse either. I also had trouble with using rc as shell in Vim, something to do with the different quoting rules of rc IIRC.

(This wouldn't be problems when using rc in its native Plan 9 environment of course.)

2. I can't live without readline.
