Re: Is bash as feature-rich as tcsh?
Wait... wait... I have one: is emacs as feature-rich as vim? Or how
about this: is Debian as good as Slackware? Or... perhaps... even...
is pine as feature rich as mutt?
If you're not careful here you're going to start an enormous flame war,
with religion on all sides.
I always thought it would be cool to make t-shirts with controversial
Unix statements on them: "vi is better than emacs", "BSD is better
than SysV", "POSIX sucks", "mutt is better than pine", "csh rules",
"NEWS is better than X", "motif is beautiful", and so on.
99% of the general public would be absolutely dumbfounded as to
what the hell your t-shirt meant, but 1% would walk by and an
odd look followed by a smile would cross their face.
Anyway, try not to start a flamewar.
