Bash as it is what I’m most familiar with. Having an eye out on the https://amber-lang.com/ that compiles to bash for future scripting purposes.

My job is working with a ton of servers over ssh. Bash is the most convenient balance between features and not needing to do any setup.

Former zsh user. fish works for me.
For scripts I use bash tho.

I have been enjoying fish a lot over the last few months, but I generally try to use Bash, it makes cross-*NIX administration that much easier.

I used zsh, urxvt and konsole. I do prefer zsh. Urxvt is nice too.

I don’t really rate zsh personally. I find the additional features/syntactic sugar it adds are a poor tradeoff for lower portability. I also end up changing the settings in my zshrc to make it behave more like bash.

I really like fish because it has excellent contextual autocomplete based on the folder you’re in. I haven’t used any other shell that was as good at it.

POSIX shell. No, seriously. Works everywhere.

After that Python for usability.

OpenBSD’s default public domain kornshell fork on OpenBSD, oksh (portable OpenBSD ksh clone) on Linux/MacOS/Other Unix. It has far fewer extensions than something like Bash (which I consider a positive) while being much faster (tested with hyperfine), and the extensions it does have are all useful (arrays, coprocesses, select, .* not expanding to . or .., pattern blocks, suspending of the whole shell).

The PEPPPERONI of tools!? that’s not a thing right? why pepperoni??

Bash is fine. Zsh on Macs is fine too. I can’t stress how useful it is to learn busybox if you end up with a shell on an embedded device.

All these crazy shells people talk about are kinda like race car controls. I’m not driving a race car, I’m driving a box truck with three on the tree.

Fish shell. I switched to fish ages ago, back when I didn’t know much bash scripting. Now I am just so used to it that I don’t wanna switch back. Plus it just works.

Microsoft copilot

bash is so ubiquitous that I never considered anything else.

Favorite would be a highly customized zsh.

fizsh (not fish) is what I actually end up using, as I can’t be bothered to copy that config around and retune it for each machine. Gives me the syntactic sugar of zsh with common default options on by default, an OK default prompt, and doesn’t break POSIX assumptions like fish. Also Installs quickly from the package manager without needing to run through the zsh setup each time - unlike oh-my-zsh. And if I still need customization, all the zsh options are still there.
