On development machines there are two places where I want power, and one
where I have no choice.

1) My editor. I spend all day in the editor. I want it to be very
flexible. I use Emacs. But I don't use it to read mail or browse the web
even though it can.

2) My shell. I use zsh.

3) I have to use chrome or firefox as a browser because of work related
web based apps. I have no choice here, well no choice if I want to keep
my job ;)

I can get away with a less powerful shell as long as it has tab
completion. Tab completion just saves so much time.

Cheers,
   Sean
