User-friendly interactive shell for Linux and macOS that works great out of the box with zero configuration needed. Features autosuggestions based on command history (accept with right arrow), syntax highlighting as you type, tab completions with inline descriptions, web-based configuration UI for themes and settings, and a scripting syntax that is simpler than bash/zsh. Not POSIX-compatible by design. Popular among developers who want a productive shell without customization effort.
Zsh (Z shell) is a powerful Unix shell and command-line interpreter created by Paul Falstad in 1990, now the default shell on macOS and many other systems. Extends Bash with advanced features: improved tab completion, glob patterns, shared command history, right-side prompts, and thousands of plugins via frameworks like Oh My Zsh, Prezto, and Zinit. Standard shell for modern developers.
