For ages I used `bash` simply because its the default shell on most Linux distributions. Now that I'm exploring FreeBSD I thought to myself, why not also consider alternative shells?
I briefly used the FreeBSD default `sh`, then spent a few weeks with `oksh` (portable version of OpenBSD `ksh`). Inspired by nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqupkp7fd7rc3lrjg23r8gy0wc723vze7mxlx5984ut6zurjzpf5xsv56m2n (nprofile…6m2n) 's "Reasons I still love the fish shell" I decided to give the aforementioned shell I try... 🐟

I ❤️ it and its my new interactive shell.
