Zsh and fish are, imo, much better environments than bash. And bash, once tamed, due to its ubiquity, is a better choice for scripting.

- minusf 8y agonot my choice. certainly less people suffer bash in the BSD world. while bashims may give additional features, readability and portability suffers. I much prefer scripts using a posixish #!/bin/sh and a strict subset of shell syntax. something like pdfx.
- s3m4j 8y agoThat's why I emphasized "choice", using sh for scripting is a valid choice.
- h1d 8y agoPeople should realize terminal and scripting don't need to be done using same shell. I use fish for scripting but run zsh for terminal. (fish had couple weirdness in day to day terminal use and zsh could do pretty much all fish could do with zplug.)
