It's bash compatible. And to be honest, it's the ecosystem that sets it apart (oh my zsh, etc.). But, outside of the ecosystem, zsh has a better setup tool (you'll see it the first time you use it), if you do stuff like shell scripting its syntax is bash compatible but some of its newer syntax is a bit cleaner. It's tab completion is hands down better than bash. But really, at the end of the day it's the ecosystem that'll do it.

For me at least, I'll use zsh for my login shell on my user account on my dev box. For servers I don't install anything extra and stick with bash. If I'm writing a reusable shell script it's always in bash syntax to work with both. But, if I'm on my dev box and writing something specific to zsh I'll user the newer stuff.

But, these are just words... we need pictures. Especially when viewing things like Oh My Zsh where you get context aware prompts. I'd never install Oh My Zsh on a server as its overkill, but on a dev box why not. Typically these days I script most of what I want from OMZ (Oh My Zsh), but what I learned I learned from that project so its a great place to start with.

But all that doesn't really matter. However, the one thing I cannot live without is the fish-like history search. It's like the scroll wheel on the mouse. It's a game changer. There's no going back man. Laugh | :laugh:

Let me just give you an idea... fish-like completion. If you see the grayed out part, it's searching my history as I type out new commands. You can cycle through matches via up or down arrows and do tab completion. If you ever have to remember what the world you typed for a command you rarely used, this is a life saver. I'll never go back until I find this plugin for bash. Edit: Here's a quick video of it too.
