My most recent installation of FreeBSD came with tcsh by default. But since installing whichever shell one prefers is so easy, I don't see any real problems there.

I believe jlgreco was asking about Mac OS, not BSD.

Oh, I know FreeBSD defaults to tcsh. My concern is that OSX has chosen to ship ancient GPLv2 software instead of modern BSD software. I can't consider this a good thing for anyone but ideologs.

  They ship a pretty recent zsh though :)

    Ah, that's good. I wonder why they don't default to it. zsh is a great shell to default to.

      They used to, before 10.3 or 10.4 or so. I suspect that it was offputting to people moving from Linux.
