The OP is obviously a troll. Or he doesn't realize that you can use any shell 
in OSX as the user default. I used OSX for 4 years and had to go 100% Linux 
because of my employer. OSX is the best of Linux and Windows--anybody who 
can't see that has obviously not worked with these three types of operating 
systems enough and is basing conclusions on limited information...Or is a 
troll. The OP probably works for microsoft.
