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 can copy my zsh config neary as simple as you to a new server. But i dont need to, because my ~ is under VCS and i just clone it to every server.

But OTH, i dont need zsh. I feel very comfortable within a bash. But, why not. ZSH is awesome.

Isn't zsh mostly a superset of bash unless you're just going nuts on both ends any how?
