What shell do you recommend?
I like zsh, but some people say great things about fish.
My problem with those is bash is always there and just works.
Yes, just like Internet Explorer.
It's good to know how to do things in bash, since you're going to encounter it pretty often. But, that doesn't mean you shouldn't customize your shell on the machine(s) you use most often. Why stick with the default when there are better options? You're just hobbling yourself.
