I've used zsh for years since going to a Gentoo conference, where this
guy did a big talk on it. To be honest though, I haven't got a clue how
to configure it properly. It has a bazillion options so I just stole
his config and have used that ever since. I've vaguely considered
looking at fish, which I suspect has the same nice bits without the
complexity, but haven't got round to it yet. For scripting, I stick
with bash though, because it's very important for Gentoo Portage.
