why i stick with bash:
`scp .bash_profile new_host:`
done. all my comfort and helpers and aliases are on the new host.
with zsh, i'd have to hope the host i'm logging into have zsh support to begin with. then i'd have to install extensions and what not... thanks. no. too much work.
if you ever only work on one box, go crazy.
this is also the reason my .vimrc file is huge and i keep improving it. copy along with your bashrc and you feel at home anywhere. I avoid even vim extensions that can't be added to vimrc as scripts.
I use bash, and can customise my prompt to show my current working directory, and the current github branch - and it's trivial to do.
I use screen a lot, and I can flick between different screen windows to do any task required just as easily and he can. It also, I believe supports split panes, but I haven't found the need to use them myself yet, as I use iTerm2 which is perfectly fine for that in itself.
