Whatever happened to the other *nix terminal shells
by Stream from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6NBX9)
When I go and look at newer distros it seems that they come with only two shells, sh and bash. But Unix/Linux have a long history of having shells. For example
1) KSH - Korn Shell
2) BSH - Borne Shell, not to be confused with BASH
3) CSH - Cshell
4) ...
5) ... New age shells based on python
Whatever happened to these? Are they still in active state or have they been abandoned? Are they being used?
I would like to avoid a flame war over here please. One can praise a particular shell give its pros but let us not demean other shells and their supporters.
