The most useful bash command of all:
sudo apt-get -y install zsh; chsh -s zsh; exec zsh;)I kid, I kid! I actually like bash a lot. I really prefer it for scripting. Arrays are extremely useful but not specified in posix. Bash is pretty ubiquitous though.
I'm also curious if there are any bash partisans who prefer it over zsh and for what reasons.
I actually prefer fish, but I want to learn more bash because is is ubiquitous and a lot of bash stuff also works in fish.
Fish is great! I used it for a while a long time ago but I ended up stopping because a few tools expected your shell to be set to something posix compatible. I wonder if the support is better now, I should give it a shot
