#2That's a funky prompt they're showing there. Since it came by default on macOS, I'm using zsh. But to be honest, my Linux box still remains on bash. The differences, to my usage, are minimal.

#3I'm totally fine with bash if it could share history between processes by default. That's pain when I operate in someone's server.

Fun fact: That's a legacy openstep thing. I was using an x86 version of openstep in a VM just for fun a few months back and it had a 1994 copy of zsh on it. I also remember using it on OS X server 1.0 in around 1999.
I have an actual nextstation in my parents garage. I wonder if it's on that...

#5> Q.) Why did you make the switch? What’s wrong with bash? A.) You can do a lot of advanced things with bash, and customize it to do even more, but ZSH allows you to do even more. This was one really large selling point.
AFAICT this is the entire motivation provided. Since they start with stating that it's a very large change, It would be useful to flesh out the motivation a bit. For instance, some concrete examples of those "even more" things that you can do with zsh but not with bash would go a long way.

I am pretty sure the default shell was csh on OpenStep and thus most likely on NeXTSTEP as well.

#7Their image says 'zsh auto-suggestions rocks!' but I had to add quite a bit to my .zshrc (in macOS at least) to get them to be good.

#8Fascinating that the conversation goes to zsh over bash.
You'd think a decent Bluetooth risk tool was more relevant given the covid19 dependency on more bt always on and so more bt drive-by

#9One nice thing in zsh is that you can type `/u/lo/b` and be in `/usr/local/bin`.

Having watched a bunch of videos of people who bought NeXT computers recently, I can confirm that the shell they saw when running Terminal.app was csh. It would be a hell of a coincindence if all of them had happened to change from the default to csh.
