Alright goys, convince me to switch to zsh
go!
I am a /g/ poster, and I am telling you not to switch to zsh.
>>54220886
Any particular reason why?
Other than it will spoil me and I will find bash disgusting

Don't switch to zsh
Bash is good enough, it's everywhere and it's compatible
The time you would spend ricing zsh you could actually do fun things or learn a new useful skill
>>54220859
It is mostly preference, I really prefer zsh. Try it out

Any reason why fish is bad?
>>54229429
fish isn't bad
i dunno. you can install it in like 10 minutes and it literally doesn't affect your workflow at all. only thing i actually noticed was the tab insensitive completion
>>54229597
case insensitive*
see something like bash-it if you want to stick with bash but desire more zsh like features.
there is also ohmyzsh.
have tried both, but usually just stick with bash. should give fish a try, but haven't bothered yet.
>>54229597
Will it spoil me?
>>54221494
oh my
>>54223166
Agreed for the most part. I use bash on all servers I interact with because it's the default shell and leave it alone. I do use zsh on my workstation, but only for the (slightly) better auto-completion.
Like this anon says, don't waste your time ricing shit though. Use what gets the job done and doesn't waste your time.

zsh use bloat. Use mksh or bash, bash because ITS ALREADY INSTALLED. So installing another shell is also bloat.

Try fish.
I tried it, I like the interactive autocompletion, the switch from bash wasn't even that hard on the first sight. Seems comfy for now, and I still haven't done any customization. Not disappointed

Move to fish, because its the friendliest shell out there.
>>54220859
just use fish

just get fish
Typical Zsh-Bash comparison thread. Bash does have 3/4 of what you list as Zsh advantages.
Fish is fucking nice as an interactive shell. I'm even considering switching my scripts to it when variable expansion finally gets released. It's just too tempting to use that spinner from fisherman as progress bar. It even supports a lighter version of powerline that doesn't take as long to load. I tried zsh with a plugin to get similar completion features as fish but it's a slow clunky mess and I will not compromise the history completion with speed.
I've used zsh for many years now. For me it's things like zmv and the emulate stuff that really puts it above csch/bash.
You can use oneliners for a lot of things where you'd have to write a function in bash.
http://www.rayninfo.co.uk/tips/zshtips.html
also there are a lot of fantastic configurations ready to use grml-zsh, oh-my-zsh and more.

I have used fish for over a year. i love using the arrow buttons to autocomplete. default its awesome. I could use bash but it always feels..restricted somehow
>>54220859
zsh is for hipsters (macfags) who can't configure their PS1 themself. Impressed by suddlenly colored command prompt, zshfags are impressed and suggest everyone that it's just better, but in reality, 90% zsh does, can be done in bash too. Even worse are oh-my-zsh fags, who literally can't even write own aliases.
>As seen on plebbit:
>"Don't forget to install ohmyzsh, Sir."
In reality you get "advanced" aliases like https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/blob/master/plugins/lol/lol.plugin.zsh and tons of apple cuck bullshit.
Seriously OP, learn how Bash works, stay POSIX compatible in scripting. don't fall for incompatible hipster memes.
Don't fall for fish also, it's even worse because not POSIX compatible.
>>54238093
>Don't fall for fish also, it's even worse because not POSIX compatible.
who the fuck needs posix when you can literally type sh -c 'muh oneliner from stackoverflow'
It doesn't even suffer from womanscripting ala oh-my-[insert_popular_shell_here] since it has a proper plugin management system named fisherman.
>>54238093
zsh can do everything that bash can m8, I only use it over bash because of it's autocomplete method.
>>54238178

Fisherman literally IS fish's oh-my-$SHELL
>>54238399
Not really, it doesn't alter your shell in any way. It just installs a function that you can use to get a specific plugin installed, be it getopts or a powerline prompt or whatever.
The last time i tried oh-my-zsh it installed a functon of aliases and modified zsh config files itself.
>>54238444
>Not really, it doesn't alter your shell in any way
OK, I see what you mean, but to me that's just a side-effect of fish auto-loading functions from .config/fish/functions and the prompt being itself oa function (fish_prompt).
I'm sure you could do the same for bash, with just some minor additions to your .bashrc (i.e. auto-loading .config/bash/*.sh and setting PS1=$(bash_prompt) or similar). That's probably how oh-my-zsh/zprezto et al do it.

>zshfags are impressed and suggest everyone that it's just better, but in reality, 90% zsh does, can be done in bash too.
How can I do fuzzy, partial, case-insensitive globbing in bash?
e.g.tail -f /v/t/p/**/firefox//build.log<Tab>
expands totail -f /var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-45.0.1/temp/build.log
Also, what about whitespace-aware globbing in loops? e.g.$ for x in {hello,goodbye}' world'; do touch $x; done
$ for x in **/*.flac; do something $x; done
>>54243521
Oh, and suppose it was ambiguous, e.g. I had both/var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-45.0.1/temp/build.log
and/var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-44/temp/build.log
Then it would tab complete to/var/tmp/portage/www-client/firefox-4/temp/build.logwith my cursor after the ‘4’ and show a completion list of my two options (with the original, non-expanded glob as a third option).
When tabbing through one of the completions, my cursor gets moved back to the end.
