I'm really surprised they went with zsh rather than fish. I guess they want to preserve the ability for existing `source` scripts to work.
as far as i know !! does not work on fish, which means it's dead in the water (had to) as far as i'm concerned.
And, a omf plugin if you want: https://github.com/oh-my-fish/plugin-bang-bang
For the uninitiated: why is zsh better than bash?
I still fondly remember when tcsh was the default shell. Like a real BSD Unix.
In Terminal, enter $ chsh -s path, where path is one of the shell paths listed in /etc/shells, such as /bin/zsh, /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/dash, /bin/ksh, /bin/sh, or /bin/tcsh.

The uninitiated won’t notice much of a difference, and that is bound to be the point. Bash on macOS is stuck at version 3 due to licensing reasons (GPL3), while ZSH is not (MIT).

For those wondering why Apple is allergic to GPLv3 code: there is a clause in the license requiring you provide a way to run modified version of the software which would require Apple to let users self sign executables.

It's still in there. The linked article tells how to do it. In Terminal, enter $ chsh -s path, where path is one of the shell paths listed in /etc/shells, such as /bin/zsh, /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/dash, /bin/ksh, /bin/sh, or /bin/tcsh.
