I've used ZSH a few times and liked it, but at the end of the day I am still using bash for some reason.

I keep going back to it because it's so intriguing and so powerful. And I keep giving up either because the manual is too long, the refcard is not enough, or I just don't have the time to make the sustained effort to learn it properly. Was just looking at "From Bash to Zsh" book, written by the guys behind frombsh2zsh website. Might be worth it!

I always find myself using bash out of sheer habit: it's what's installed by default essentially everywhere (except where it's cruel, unfeeling friend, sh, is installed by default). It's old, it's clunky, it's (apparently) sometimes insecure, and yet, it's not so much that I like it, but 15 years of habit is hard to break.
