There are only so many adjectives in circulation.
More seriously: it’s hard to put together a list like this because so many things are subjective. Maybe you prefer fish because it gets rid of some of the dumb things required for a POSIX-compatible shell, but I prefer zsh because it has every feature and the kitchen sink. I don’t know, and neither does the person putting together the list.
- faho 8y agoIt would be nice if the list explained that, though! And with the ~20 zsh "frameworks" and "plugin managers" here, they could really do some comparison, or probably even remove a couple. I'd rather they showed me 3 good options and explained the trade-off than 20 options with little commentary (the lines seem to be mostly cribbed from the projects themselves).
- notafraudster 8y agoI don't know how someone reading the list would understand that "fish ... gets rid of some of the dumb things [what things?] required for a POSIX-compatible [?] shell, but [others] prefer zsh because it has every feature [what features?] and the kitchen sink." For example, I didn't realize "smart" in the list's vernacular means "deprecates dumb legacy behaviour". Your post is the first time that became obvious to me. Now to figure out what that behaviour is and why I should care and if it impacts performance and and and... My post wasn't asking the curator to make decisions for me, it was asking them to help me make decisions.
