ksh93 or mksh and why?


How's your opinion on those two? I'm lost on this question, I really can't figure out the differences. (I mainly use a shell for interactive use, scripts are better written in a real scripting language.)

Any insights?
(Except, of course, "use a different shell!" - I like the kshs.)

mksh implements many, but by far not all, ksh93 features, but most ksh88 features

I would rather say to use the default, because using even slightly different shells may cause a lot of trouble. Or your preferred one, but that may or may not exist/available everywhere.

Is there a detailed feature comparison list between those two?
