Here are some bash annoyances in my opinion:
- By default, there is no shared history between bash sessions and trying to enable it is complex still limited.
- multi-line commands are converted to single line when recalled from history. ksh/ksh93 preserves formatting and is much more convenient here.
- the first command of a pipeline is processed in the main shell while ksh picks the last one, a more logic choice IMHO.
- No FPATH (function autoloading).
