I have recently switched from bash to zsh. zsh has nice command completion and it also suggests command if you mistype. Mac OS-X comes with zsh installed, to switch to zsh go to system preferences -> accounts, right click on the account select advanced options and select zsh for login shell. Also along the way I picked up a new command, its the bang command I would like to share, bare in mind this is not unique to zsh and is also available in bash. Have fun programming :).
!! - To run last executed command !$ - Last argument of previous command !* - All arguments !!:1 - First argument

I know it sounds great and all, but I have like 200 shell functions. Last time I checked zsh, it could not read my .bashrc files. If there was a way to preserve all that time invested in bash, I would probably switch.
