I spotted "fish" the other day.
FrIendly SHell.
So far it's been sort of pretty and behaved nicely, but I wouldn't
have bothered to mention it.
It colourises things, partial commands showing red, full commands
showing green.
Suddenly I notice this and I'm sold...
Take bash and type in the first part of several commands and go
tab...
$ fe
festival festival-synthesis-driver
festival_client fetchmail
It lists possible completions.
Nice.
Now take fish and do the same...

festival_client (Client access to festiva; text-to-speech server mode)
fetchmail (Fetch mail from a POP, IMAP, ETRN, or ODMR-capable server)
Cool! I'm sold!
