Zsh
"One area in which it is dramatically powerful is in its ability to interactively evaluate arguments. It can do command name completion, filename completion, and is extensible such that it can use programs to evaluate possible command completions. It is highly configurable, has a lot of cool features that a lazy man like me likes. The only problem is that Bash is the standard shell and that Zsh is not installed everywhere, so I tried to use Bash for a day, and the missing cyclic completion made me run back to Zsh."
