. This thread could go on for ever... but, really: who would want to
. change from a shell he or she is comfortable and productive with to
. something else? People like what they know... Reality check.
Who would ever want to learn anything new if they're already
comfortable with their life?
Personally, my shell preference is:
[1] bash
[2] tcsh
[3] ksh
I wish bash had {,} file globing (or maybe it does, but I don't know
how to turn it on?), but I program in sh, so I find it very convenient
to be able to do quicky programs from the command line. On the other
hand, in tcsh I can do sh -c '...' and that goes a long way towards
making tcsh comfortable for me.
