So, answer the poll, but try to give a reason in a reply. Also, I just took the most popular shells I could with a quick search. If your favorite shell is not listed, select other and enlighten us. I'll start.

I prefer bash, for a few reasons.

  • it is often the default shell on many linux distributions.
  • it is common. It is available on most versions of linux, bsd, and unix flavours as well, including solaris (the default shell, finally, in solaris 11), AIX, and HP-UX.
  • My only other real shell interactions have been bourne shell, and korn on AIX and HP-UX, which I didn't like too much
