There is almost no learning curve to 4DOS or 4OS2?  You can install either and 
never use them, or notice that they are your command processor.  The learning
curve is only present when you choose to use the additional commands, command
syntax and other utilities available to you when they are your command
processors.  I have installed 4DOS on systems where the user did not know it
was there, or what to do with it, and they never noticed.

Both are certainly worth using, and other than cost, have no downside to speak 
of.
