zsh. Compiz. XFCE. Finder.

It's kinda hard to reccommend a shell if you don't specify a) what KIND of shell you want, and b) what PLATFORM you're on.

In fact, in you want a nice looking shell, just head over to Customize.org. Find a nice looking skin, figure out what shell it's for, and use that. Most aren't hard to figure out.

bash fails it; ksh/pdksh is superior (at 1/4 of the size, too!)

bash owns...all the shortcut keys are emacs bindings

I saw a guy making a speech about Plan 9 and it doesn't make me want to switch to any of their elistist (even worse than Debian and Gentoo combined) programs.
