zsh is comfy

I use zsh interactively. I use the syntax coloring thing and I understand it at least as well as the fish implementation.
I script in pure POSIX bourne shell or bash iff I'm feeling really lazy, bash makes something noticeably easier and I'm not going to use the script on another system.

oh you're one of *those* people

I assume you're completely ignorant to the existance and power of shells?

You might want to check it out. We're on a technology board after all.

Zsh seems nice, do you use any premade config?

>>52398057
Y-yes.

To my defense: the real time history completion is unmatched as far as I know.

I looked at other people's configs. This is the result, over the years:

# ~/.zshrc
#

# dircolors
eval $(dircolors ~/.config/dircolors)

# autocorrection
setopt correct

# prompt
PROMPT="%~$ "


#
# completion
#

autoload -U compinit && compinit -d ~/.cache/zcompdump

zstyle ':completion:*'                 menu select

zstyle ':completion:*'                 matcher-list 'm:{a-z}={A-Z}'

zstyle ':completion:*:descriptions'    format "completing %B%d%b%"
zstyle ':completion:*:matches'         group 'yes'
zstyle ':completion:*'                 group-name ''

zstyle ':completion:*'                 list-colors ${(s.:.)LS_COLORS}
zstyle ':completion:*'                 list-dirs-first true

That's really nice. Thanks.

i use fish, comfiest shell out there
if i need posix or run scripts, i switch to bash

I've dabbled with a few, but fish is currently my favourite interactive shell: I switched from zsh recently.

fish not being POSIX doesn't bother me: run scripts in #!/bin/sh or #!/bin/bash if you must. You should always have hashbangs anyway.

It may be controversial for me to say, but I have to commend Windows PowerShell for a very different, but very effective, approach. I can't get used to it easily enough to use myself, but I can't deny that given the opportunity to start over from a clean break that they had, the PowerShell team did a very interesting job indeed, although I do wish the commands weren't so verbose.

I use rc, I like it because it has very few features and makes you rely on unix tools instead of sh/bash-isms, and it has a sane syntax. That, and it boots up very fast.

Came here to say this.

I use the agnoster theme.
