Agreed. I voted bash but As you said it is only universal on linux. The AIX server at work uses the ksh shell and my BSD machine uses the tcsh shell.

Was a long time tcsh user in UNIX; switched over to bash in 2000, and stayed with it ever since.

Bash.

Not necessarily the best, it's the one I use all the time so it's the one I'm most familiar with. I haven't really messed with the rest.

well I voted for bash then went looking for app of the year to vote for Yakuake. Lacking any other place to vote for it I am back here to complain.(what a novel event on a web forum;-))

Since installing Yakuake it has beccome a must have app for me and is one of the first things I add after a new install.

ZSH all the way! bash wins because people haven't tried many shells.
