Is that actually still an issue these days with Docker containers and what not? How often do you access a remote server via SSH where you share an account with your colleagues and cannot install another shell next to bash? (So that bash could still be the default but you could switch on the fly.)

- ilyt 4y agoIf you connect sidecart to debug it will most likely have bash. And why you'd need bash fu just for local work ? The most I use it is for old fashioned servers (we have anything from "classics" to few k8s clusters)
- nagonago 4y agoI think the problem is more about friction. While it might be possible to install another shell on every remote server you work on, are the features really worth the trouble? Also, I've sometimes had to work on remote boxes on an internal-only network, with no outside internet access. In that case installing anything new is even more of a pain, so it's easier to work with the defaults as much as possible. That said, I'm all for learning new tools. Progress couldn't be made if everybody just stuck with the old. But there's always a trade-off to be made between time investment into new tools vs. just getting your work done with the old ones.
