What’s your favourite to use? Mine is Fish due to its ease of use and user friendly approach.

Bash is the pepperoni of shell tools being reliable in every field no matter what but I’ve moved to Fish as I wanted to try something different.

So what’s your shell of choice?

    An analogy:

    My Swiss Army knife has a screwdriver on it. It’s nice to have, and I even used it recently.

    It juts out perpendicular to the middle of the knife’s body though, making a literal " |- " shape, so for many applications it’s too awkward for the job.

    I also have a more traditional screwdriver. As and when I come to build a new PC, I don’t think I’ll be using the one on the knife.

      Following the analogy, what if the screwdriver part was bent by 30° and you had to awkwardly turn the tool while keeping it tilted - but there’s also a spring mechanism that attempts to retract the screwdriver you push too hard against the screw?
      (all of that for historical reasons, of course)
      ((or even to discourage you from using the tool?))
