Due to the major douchebaggery, gross misunderstanding of the purpose of this article, and inclusion of your "long time user" status, I can't take you comment seriously. Perhaps the purpose of this article is too complicated for your oversimplified brain. As a "long time" computer user I appreciate Mr. Grouchy taking the time to outline some of the finer things zsh has to offer.
If you REALLY wanted people to adopt zsh, and grow the community, you should probably try to list some other things that you enjoy.
But Hey, thanks for trying to integrate yourself. Stay Classy.
I suppose having and stating an opinion that isn't kissing someone's ass makes me a douchebag according to richardlblair. I think I can live with that.
All Mr. Grouchy did was give a couple examples of completion and oh-my-zsh. I think you would have to be really fed up with bash or whatever default shell your system has to take that bait. I never said I expected him to write a complete job. I just think there are better arguments to be made.
In fact, there are hundreds of posts on HN that give someone's evangelical tale of trying a new program, and several about zsh. This one is far from exceptional in my mind.
To me, it was like saying "You should buy a Tesla Model S because they are really fast."
If you REALLY wanted people to adopt zsh, and grow the community, you should probably try to list some other things that you enjoy.
