pleia2now 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
pleia2I applaud the efforts of /etc/skel, but it's relatively new compared to bash :)15:50
waltmanI prefer zsh, but there are some things on our cluster at work that only work on bash.15:50
pleia2I ran into that a lot and gave up trying to use fancy shells like zsh15:51
pleia2was too frustrating to switch between them when I logged into a new server15:51
waltmanI tend to keep one tab in bash and everything else in zsh :)15:53
waltmanMore annoying than that is that the default .bashrc sets the shell to vi mode instead of emacs!15:53
