Shells I couldn't think of images for:
imo fish is the best out of the box for me, but I just use bash cause its everywhere
The Web site for fish reads:
I love them and always will.
bash:
Fish is the best . Do not listen what other says just because it's easy to use does not make it a bad tool
Also helix better then neovim and emacs
And zellij better then tmux
Micro better then nano
Jj better then git A LOT
I use fish because it was the default in cachyos and decided to give it a fair shake. I like the built in syntax highlighting and fancy autocomplete but I miss bash scripting and built in commands that replace standard commands can be weird sometimes. I have not tried scripting fish, to lazy to learn yet another scripting language, especially if bash is the (almost) de-facto standard.
Sometimes I think I'm the only linux user who doesn't care about their terminal emulator. I use whatever came installed. I assume it's bash? I don't know, but anything i want to do is supported by all of them.
I think I'm using fish and it works great, I love alt+s thing and auto complete thingy.
Funny story, in my first years of Linux, I always thought sh was the only way to run downloaded programs in the terminal. I must have seen it on some forum and learned it that way. Much later I learned that I could just type this ./program and run them.

No such thing as a good shell... (I just want something that's both posix-compatible and good)
