ksh, because of its vi-cmdline editing mode, its reliable and stable job control (whoever had to deal with csh knows what i mean) and it's great programming language.

Bash has this option too
set -o vi
this will set the history editor to vi

Cheers!

bash has all that, plus ANSI colors and TAB completion and GREAT programming power.

Zsh (which is somewhat related to Ksh) for interactive use is the most powerfull shell and usefull shell in that mode. I use sh and bash for shell scripting. I don't use zsh for shell scripting.

P.S I'm not going to place a vote on this thread for obvious reasons.
