    Boring is good. I don’t want to be surprised by the software I use.

      Zsh is a nice balance of modern features and backwards compatibility with bash.

      A lot of folks don’t know that you can do this. They just stick with the default install for whatever distro they’re using. Articles like this aren’t really for seasoned users, they’re for relative newbies who didn’t know.

        Such articles are bad for giving relative newbies the impression that software shouldn’t be boring.

      I switched to zsh (with ohmyzsh) a couple years ago on my Mac and I have to say while it’s fairly stable, it gets hung up on itself and does weird shit from time to time.

      I think bash has wigged out on me once in the past 20 years (that wasn’t obviously something I’ve done).
