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?

I don't give a shit about the VT100, and you shouldn't either. 99.999999999999999999999999999999% of the people running GNU/Linux have a keyboard which has, at least, something resembling a PC keyboard with no less than 100 keys, supports key down and up scancodes, and can display (or at the very worst gracefully ignore) colour attributes. What we need is a console protocol (not X, not plain text with escape shit) for console applications which can run locally or over a remote shell.
What about remoting from a system without support for this?  A terminfo wrapper?  On the client, on the server?

What is so bad about the current situation anyway?  It works, and rarely do you have to write the escape sequences by hand, that's what terminfo and shit is for.

Sure, catting some junk and having your terminal messed up sucks, but one reset later and you're back to hacking.
