What shell do you guys use? - JerrySpringerIsMyDad - 30-07-2014
I usually end up using bash. Is there and good reason I shouldn't?
RE: What shell do you guys use? - smlb - 30-07-2014
I personally use zsh, loving some nice features that this shell offers (good auto-completion with tabbing), oh-my-zsh or better grml config.
RE: What shell do you guys use? - eye - 30-07-2014
zsh with oh-my-zsh.
RE: What shell do you guys use? - kirby - 30-07-2014
Bash here, never seen the need for anything else. I must admit that the fish shell looks cool though.
RE: What shell do you guys use? - dcli - 30-07-2014
I used bash forever and decided to use zsh with oh-my-zsh the other day. It's pretty much the same for me, I can't say it's really any faster. The colors for oh-my-zsh don't suit my white terminal tho
RE: What shell do you guys use? - casscode - 31-07-2014
zsh for the completion, bash or scripting
RE: What shell do you guys use? - shtols - 31-07-2014
Client-shell-of-choice still is bash. On servers: A wide variety, except zsh.

I've also heard good things about mksh, does anyone use that here?

You should ask ypnose for that. Check out his blog also, its quitte Nice : http://blog.ypnose.org

bash had that bug tho. I use hush its very lightweight.
RE: What shell do you guys use? - xero - 10-10-2014
i use zsh. it seems like there's a completion system for everything. i also like the simple setup for thinks like keybindings, prompts, path expansions, extended glob searches, and it's own internal function system for thinks like git.

Fish (http://fishshell.com/)!
It's really cool. Offers a lot of improvements over bash like zsh but without the hours spent configuring it.
RE: What shell do you guys use? - b4dtR1p - 12-10-2014
i use zsh and bash for scripting on linux, bsd and osx

RE: What shell do you guys use? - dcat - 13-10-2014
zsh for looking pretty, mksh for everything else.
RE: What shell do you guys use? - venam - 13-10-2014
zsh on my personal machines, bash on servers or anything that comes by default on the OS.
RE: What shell do you guys use? - z3bra - 13-10-2014
Mostly bash for interactive use, but I (try) to write POSIX shell scripts (/bin/sh on my server is aliased to /bin/busybox, so ash by default)
RE: What shell do you guys use? - nrmc.dubz - 13-10-2014
I like to give users zsh for interactive stuff, for root-affairs always mksh.
With scripts it depends on the needs. Should it be portable -> /bin/sh. Should it be fancy -> zsh. In any other case I use bash for scripting, because it's easy to handle.
RE: What shell do you guys use? - delucks - 17-10-2014
I use zsh with zsh-syntax-highlighting when I want to look good. oh-my-zsh is too heavy for me.
RE: What shell do you guys use? - sodaphish - 29-10-2014
`which sh`
/bin/bash

RE: What shell do you guys use? - exp0sure - 31-10-2014
I personally use zsh, but came across someone using fish on http://usesthis.com and I looked it up. It looks good, how are you liking it?
RE: What shell do you guys use? - rwzy - 07-11-2014
Fish's design philosophy is absolutely horrendous.
RE: What shell do you guys use? - kaludis - 21-01-2015
zsh everywhere.
RE: What shell do you guys use? - cadav3rous - 23-04-2017
normal user: zsh / root: tcsh
RE: What shell do you guys use? - Mafia - 23-04-2017
ksh, because openbsd.
RE: What shell do you guys use? - rocx - 23-04-2017
bash(1) because I'm to lazy to chsh(1) to anything else.
RE: What shell do you guys use? - Tmplt - 23-04-2017
zsh(1) because of zim.
RE: What shell do you guys use? - jkl - 23-04-2017
ksh93 everywhere because of POSIX.
RE: What shell do you guys use? - robotchaos - 23-04-2017
rc, i love its syntax and it is my initials
RE: What shell do you guys use? - r4ndom - 24-04-2017
i'm using bash. previously i used zsh with zim, which was handy, but for my needs, to much.
