Definately BASH
BASH anyday.
crap, i accidentally voted for sh, but BASH is definately the way to go.
> crap, i accidentally voted for sh,
Vote moved to bash :)
I have been using csh. Don't really have a preference except that I've gotten used to csh. The redirect error output thing is a good reason to switch. Probably wont. whatever.
BASH no contest :)
Never seen bash, so voted for what I liked best, Bourne.
If you want to try bash - you can try it out with www.cygwin.com.
BASH all the way.
