No, but if you must play with Unix, you must either live with the shell 
as is or modify it to suit your preferences.  I suspect learning the 
strange language and syntax is easier than rolling your own.  Some 
people even like it that way.

There are millions of Unix users out there who seem to find the syntax 
and semantic usable and useful.  They couldn't care less what we think! 
  ISTR that someone wrote a "DCL shell" but I don't think it ever became 
popular.
