It came on very strong recommendation from one of my geek friends as an
alternative to bash (which he termed as a "joke"). I've managed to make
some basic cosmetic customizations to it that make it /look/ like bash,
so I'm happy with that. Just have to get use to not having tab-complete
suggestions (or find a way to enable that, too).

It's hard not to when someone either a) misunderstands because didn't
actually read the OP but claims to be remembering from it (perhaps there
is another OP that I'm not aware of that he's referring to?) or b)
willfully misunderstands just to be a troll. I didn't ask to get a
flamewar started. I asked because while Java (right now) isn't a
requirement for me to use, FF3.6 (with all the latest security patches),
is. As a part-time web developer, I need to have these tools available
to me (and again, I am willing to help make that a reality).

That stopped being hilarious after my first six months on slashdot (many
moons ago (I signed up circa 2003)).
