Thanks @johan I've been hearing about fish a fair bit the past year or so.

@drh3xx I do often use fish (and sometimes bash) for one liners, but beyond that I usually fire up Dart, it's easy enough to write and also easy to hit high I/O throughput, often desirable for scripts, thanks to async/await; I think some Geminauts like go which I guess gets you a similarly huge performance boost thanks to goroutines.

I didn't know ksh really had people using it anymore. It was advanced for its time but seems like kind of an oddball now. Of course, FreeBSD defaults to tcsh, so I'm not one to talk lol. I figured some people would use zsh out of personal preference/choice. I guess the cool shell is fish now

@benk thanks for the input. I'm kinda surprised to be honest that more OpenBSD users aren't sticking with the default ksh. I guess it depends on their use case and most people are just answering from a server/desktop perspective. I wonder if folks are more inclinded to stick to defaults on routers, firewallls etc...

ksh for root admin, fish for regular use
Curious what other OpenBSD users use as their main shell?
