Anyone using zsh for their shell?
If so, why? Seems to be all the hipster-geek rage lately. I was toying with it, I didn't see much advantage. Why reinvent an already perfect wheel?

I use BASH myself. It's what I'm used to.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
A friend of mine does. Don't know why he prefers zsh though, most certainly not a "hipster" thing, since he's been using it for quite a long time. I think he said something about it just being Bash+more, so he uses it for the extra features. He is a power user, so it's not unlikely.
Personally? I'm a bash/ksh guy. But, it's because I've used them both for a really, really long time. I like bash a little more, since I can turn POSIX compliance on and off.

Whinny little BSH?
I'm not very hep on the different *nix command line shells. I learned on BASH back in the days when my Internet access was a dial-up UNIX shell account so that's what I've stuck with. I mostly go with a GUI for the kind of stuff I do but I'm not a sysop or anything either.
