not to forget: POSIX vs Bash > What are your thoughts on KDE, kernel modules or USE=3D"-*"? ;-) Substitute "kernel modules" by Gnome (incl. systemd, policykit) and add topics concerning pms and package managers, and I think that the list of flamewar candidates concerning Gentoo Linux is complete. So it is not unusual to have them in one thread, is it? However, I did not hesitate to repeat the pro-Zsh arguments (although I have probably posted them several times here) because - as already mentioned in this thread - many people simply are not even aware what they are missing due to lack of information. Indeed, I would have saved a lot of time if I would have known the advantages of zsh earlier, and I do not want that other suffer from the same problem... My experience was similar to the one mentioned in this thread: With the default configuration zsh appeared disappointing at a first glance, so I had ignored it for years, since bash was installed and usually in the machine's memory anyway; only after many years and knowing how much more productive I could have been with zsh, I started to regret this decision.
