These days I tend to use python rather then shell for most things where
I would once have used shell, just because it's so much cleaner when
your tiny script inevitably grows to take over the known universe.

In python your statement would be:

     [ x for x in os.listdir('.') if os.path.isdir(x) ]

Which i reckon is neater than anything in any shell :)
