And that's why no one wants to bother switching.

Actually, that's exactly why I switched. (more precisely, this could be said why: http://www.cs.elte.hu/zsh-manual/zsh_14.html)

If you don't want to use it, I don't see how that is any of my business. I was just trying to help out somebody who does, so there's hardly any reason to be an ass.

To be honest, I tried it years back and liked it, but forgot about it and didn't miss it. I may try it again sometime.

All I'm saying is that most people won't like something that offers no immediate major benefit and has annoying defaults that they have to find an obscure setting to fix. This is probably why so few use emacs, even though it is awesome :)

Everything has annoying defaults until you either change them or get used to them.
