Depending on what constitutes a "Unix like environment," at least two other 
posibilities exist.  If we are talking about command structure only, than ECP8 5.1
can be made to look very much like a subset of 'csh' and Opix 1.0 for hyper-C has 
a very strong 'csh' flavor as well.  Both also support a "/usr/bin" type facility
for storing transient commands, although they are each limited to only one such
directory (i.e. no user defined "path" capability for searching more than the
current and transient command directories for an executable file or script).

I am well aware that GNO offers far more, but the above two options aren't bad for
those of us that do not own a IIgs and want some "Unix like environment" in the
Prodos 8 world.
