Hm, most of the people I'm showing zsh and trying to convince them that it's A LOT better than bash see the default prompt and say yuck. > I'm glad zsh doesn't have some silly fancy schmancy prompt as the > default. Me too! I'm not talking about these fancy prompts, just a basic prompt with the cwd in it instead of something ugly like a \u\h and maybe a basic completion setup that only completes directories for cd and rmdir and similar things for other basic commands. Of course we'd have to discuss what's useful for a beginner and what should be left as homework. That way _maybe_ some day one of the distributions will use zsh as their default shell instead of crappy bash. Why not save the beginners a little bit of the trouble of setting zsh up?
