The default shell in Mac OS X is bash, which I’m generally happy to be using. I just take it for granted. It would be really nice if it auto-completed more stuff, though, and I’ve heard good things about zsh in this regard. But I don’t really have the inclination to spend hours fiddling with settings to improve my command line usage by a tiny amount, since my life on the command line isn’t that bad.
(As I understand it, bash can also be configured to auto-complete more cleverly. It’s the configuring I’m not all that keen on.)
Will switching to zsh, even in a small number cases, make my life easier? Or is it only a better shell if you put in the time to learn why it’s better? (Examples would be nice, too :) )

@Vulcan Eager
give two good reasons to respectively stick to bash and switch to zsh. Looks like I’ll have to investigate both! Oh well :)
Is there anyone with an opinion from both sides of the argument?
