Just using zsh as a drop-in replacement for bash is pointless. You'd need to discover its features and customize it to get added value.

As a simple example, in bash if you use tab completion and there are multiple options, pressing tab again just reminds you that there are multiple options accompanied by a passive aggressive beep (it used to be this way at least). zsh lets you cycle through the possible completions.

This should fix it in bash: bind '"\t":menu-complete'
