Personally, I don’t have a reason to move from bash. Bash, zsh, fish looks very similar to me. But they do have subtle differences that require learning. And I don’t see a point.
- jijijijij 3y agoI don't think zsh requires any learning as it's mostly adding to bash and is compatible, no?! In any case, fish offers all the conveniences out-of-the-box, which makes it superior to zsh, to me. It's just a nice and ready drop-in, no configuration required. Like, I can't live without alt-H to pop open the man page for command at cursor, and alt-S to toggle sudo, anymore. Otherwise, for 95% of my use, the differences are unnoticeable, and if I need the arcane bash hacks, well, I drop into a bash shell. Tho, I do miss the <<< and still use bash for scripts. Also, I don't have fish set as default shell outside of the GUI terminal.
- bombcar 3y agoThe only reason I moved to zsh is because I'm lazy, and macOS ships with it by default. Easier to change my other systems to zsh than fight it, but I've not really done anything different except some minor notices that it seems to autocomplete a tiny bit better (but that may be due to oh my zsh).
- para_parolu 3y agoYeah. That move was annoying. I wanted to start using zsh as well but then found I need to port by bashrc and switched to bash back
