pleia2 | now that I get to work on all kinds of old systems, I suspect that a huge local bashrc is an artifact of the past and backwards compatibility, people expect it to be a certain way, old systems depend on local ones having certain things, and no one will fix it up (why? it's not hurting anyone, it's just messy) | 15:49 |
pleia2 | I applaud the efforts of /etc/skel, but it's relatively new compared to bash :) | 15:50 |
waltman | I prefer zsh, but there are some things on our cluster at work that only work on bash. | 15:50 |
pleia2 | I ran into that a lot and gave up trying to use fancy shells like zsh | 15:51 |
pleia2 | was too frustrating to switch between them when I logged into a new server | 15:51 |
waltman | I tend to keep one tab in bash and everything else in zsh :) | 15:53 |
waltman | More annoying than that is that the default .bashrc sets the shell to vi mode instead of emacs! | 15:53 |
pleia2 | hah | 15:54 |
