Oh that's interesting. I'd assumed that FreeBSD had made bash the default shell around the same time that Mac OS did. I guess my point still stands for /bin/sh. Not a fun programming language though.
Exactly, which is the reason why BSDs were not affected by shellshock. And moreover, modern tcsh is quite a powerful and full-featured shell, too.
I unfortunately had to switch to Linux a few years ago (after using FreeBSD for almost a decade) and I still miss how consistent and well laid out BSDs seem in comparison.
And it's a user-friendly shell with all the tab completions and history searches, which DOES NOT BELONG IN /bin/sh!
