[QUOTE=BPFowler;168440]Interesting. When I installed Fink + Fink Commander yesterday, I don't recall it pointing out any of this when I fired it up for the first time. I'm new to Macs (as of a few days ago), but so far at least, my experience had been that when you install a new (precompiled) program, it runs, and there's no need to dig into docs unless you run across something you don't understand. In every obvious respect at least, Fink Commander had been working fine for me so far.
Yes. It's what I've been using for 20 years, and no one had ever offered a reason why I should change. It gave me Emacs-style command-line editing and other benefits before other shells I knew about had that. If there's another shell (bash?) that I'd be better off with, I'm certainly willing to consider it, as long as the change isn't too painful.(Are you really using the tsch?).
