Got it, I was wondering because I’m pretty comfortable using the CLI but I’ve never gotten into it at a level where the shell made a huge difference in my experience. Maybe if I was a sysadmin I’d feel differently.
I got into zsh because there was all this flashy oh my zsh stuff. But I am thinking of moving back to bash, because GPL and liberty. I don’t really use all the fancy zsh addons or whatever. And I don’t do enough advanced scripting stuff to notice the difference. I’ve also heard fish has a lot of useful features.
I’m not an admin but someone else here pointed out that this would probably be a bad choice for an admin. You can’t just go installing whatever toys you prefer on every system, especially if it isn’t yours. An admin has to be very comfortable with standard tools. Maybe more like a developer (which I’m also not) who spends a lot of time on one system which they control.
I’ve been using xfce for years and I’m barely ever even tempted to give anything else a go. xfce is the perfect DE for me and I just stumbled into it. Maybe you stumbled in to your perfect shell.
