Oh, I know FreeBSD defaults to tcsh. My concern is that OSX has chosen to ship ancient GPLv2 software instead of modern BSD software. I can't consider this a good thing for anyone but ideologs.

They ship a pretty recent zsh though :)

Ah, that's good. I wonder why they don't default to it. zsh is a great shell to default to.

They used to, before 10.3 or 10.4 or so. I suspect that it was offputting to people moving from Linux.
