Ask HN: What shell do you use?

5 points by Revell ↗ HN
There's a couple different shells available at the moment, the most popular being ZSH[0], Fish[1] and Bash[2].

Which one has your preference? And how do you deal with different environments and shells (e.g. SSH into a server and you're using Bash i.o. your own preferred local shell)?

bash for it's the most standard. That helps management a lot.
zsh (oh-my-zsh)
Emacs shell.
Good old fashioned bash. zfs is newer and probably better, but you use what you grew up with.
