I don't think I really have a favorite interactive shell, so much as I have various levels of being lazy.


If it has decent line editing, file name completion, and functions; any Bourne-style shell will do fine for me. Systems I spend the most time on usually get zsh, because I like its context sensitive completion. On OpenBSD systems I use the provided Korn implementation and only miss zsh's completions. When working on Linux systems or when nether a korn or zsh setup is available, I usually use bash. So I guess you could say zsh is my favorite; except when I am to lazy to install it.


Once tpsh matures a bit more, it will probably become my favorite interactive shell in time.
