Nooo don't make zsh the default shell. Wtf is Apple doing?
I don't have an issue if people want to use/download zsh, but making it the OS default is a huge mistake! From the zsh docs themselves:
"Broadly, bash has paid more attention to standards compliancy (i.e. POSIX) for longer, and has so far avoided the more abstruse interactive features (programmable completion, etc.) that zsh has." ~http://zsh.sourceforge.net/FAQ/zshfaq02.html#l14 http://zsh.sourceforge.net/FAQ/zshfaq02.html#l14
Don't make a less-standards compliant shell the default! Bash is one of the few programs I can rely on between all my different devices.
- rhinoceraptor 7y agoYou can install it manually if you want. The reason they did it is their version of bash is ancient since they don't want GPLv3 in the operating system.
- kking50 7y agoNooooo! Don't make me INSTALL a standard-compliant shell!! Make me install a NON-standard-compliant shell. It's better to have an old version of a standard-compliant shell be the default. Users can easily install the latest bash/zsh, but make that a personal choice. The license isn't a valid reason to swap out bash.
- octoberrust 7y agoI'm pretty sure bash still comes with the system. It's only the default shell which is easily configurable.
