> Almost every other "Switch from bash to zsh, it has this awesome killer feature" article I've seen has raved about a feature that's available in Bash & has been for years.

Yeah, I feel the same way. Most people seem to act like bash doesn't have tab completion or customizable prompts or something. This is actually the first time I've seen actual useful features of zsh that bash actually does not have (path expansion for instance). But I actually have my own little workaround scripts for those types of things that I'm used to so I don't feel a huge compelling reason to switch. The multiple shell history thing is a pretty good reason though. Maybe I'll switch eventually.
