tcsh has an excellent use interface (i.e. command line editing),
incorporating the best features of ksh, csh and 4DOS IMHO. Its
also backward compatible with tcsh (a painless transition).

I've never used zsh, and haven't heard any rave-reviews ...
is this something special or just another free shell?
Whats the associated programming language like?  (If
its not Bourne Shell, ksh, REXX, perl or csh compatible - forget
it, there are too many shell language alternatives already!)
