I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
Whenever I see someone go on about how zsh is the new cool, I ask them what they like about it. Almost everything they say is either from an add-on (like oh-my-zsh) or also available in every other shell you're likely to use.
The things that are different between shells are not thing they ever do.
I'm in the habit of making every script POSIX if there's not a good reason. I'm going to be doing a workshop on command-line skills at my office soon and want to go full-on YAGNI.
Been using UNIX since the late 80s; Linux since the mid-90s; virtualization since the early 2000s and spent the past few years working in the cloud space.

Won't get any arguments from this curmudgeon (get off my lawn!).
