Which shells do you guys tend to use the most?

I've been trying to get into fish lately, have also used xonsh because I'm really comfortable with python so why not use that instead of bash and just inject subshells into my python scripts

zsh because it's on everything and have some nice settings, powerlevel9k is easy to use and good.

When I write scripts (rare these days) anything critical is in sh.

    Just tried it out and it's cool, but zsh doesn't play well with most ttys when you mess with the prompts like that.

    Did lead me down a rabbit hole to oh-my-bash though which is pretty nice and runs on regular bash. Even has a powerbash10k theme lol.

    Also found ble.sh which adds syntax highlighting and fish/zsh style atocomplete to a bash shell (written in pure bash). It's slow as turds so I just aliased it to make it easy to enable/disable.

    Looks like I'm sticking to bash lol
