Shells

What shell does /prog/ use?
I've only used bash, but I want to explore my options. So, which shell do you use, and, if you feel so inclined, why?

First of all, like anybody I have a huge collection of hentai, anime, ripped TV series or all of these, and I like to see filenames such as a01.jpg and f01.jpg line up properly.

Er, yeah... anybody. At any rate, I expect these line up better than you imagine. You can even use a font whose numbers are the same width, if you like.

f01.jpg
f02.jpg
f03.jpg
f04.jpg
f05.jpg
f06.jpg
f07.jpg
f08.jpg
f09.jpg
f10.jpg
f11.jpg
f12.jpg
f13.jpg
f14.jpg
Second, it's much faster than using a full-fledged graphic system.

In 2008? I don't think so, buddy. Maybe faster than the GUI widget orgy of the week, but even then, drawing quickly is not the issue.
Third, it's a matter of aesthetics: I like having fixed character cells, just like I like window snapping and anything that looks fixed and solid.

That's pretty OCD, man.
It also helps to prevent idiots from making idiotic GUIs.
I prefer not to use programs written by idiots to avoid a BAD END for my data.
