Why you should be using zsh/

Posted on 2003-12-02 by ivo :: / :: link

Initially I wanted to write an entry about some of the basic features that makes zsh the most powerful shell for everyday use, that everybody should be using. However, there already is such a document: An Introduction to the Z shell. So I'll point to that instead :)

This document doesn't really point out the differences between zsh and bash, or why zsh is better than any of the other shells out there. The Zsh workshop by Larry Schrof contains some more information, but may be too much in-depth; or maybe just read the Why zsh? sheet. There's also a little bit of information in the zsh FAQ about similarities with tcsh and bash. Maybe I'll write a document about the differences in the future.
