Yes we are oversensitive about this. This question comes up all the time. csh used to be the default shell and thank G. O. D. it was changed. POSIX 93 ksh with HUGE improvements was ported to OpenBSD. It was ported to OBSD a while ago. It kicks bash and zsh's ass all to hell. any other opinion is just based on ignorance. Pleaese stop being ignorant and learn. Lastly; set -o vi Pleeeeease learn it. This thread is increadibly tiresome...
