Has anybody ever done a usability study on the Linux CLI interface?

fish: Unknown command “mongodb”
Not heard of that shell... just taken a look and it seems interesting!
Don't like the ">" prompt, mind - SuSE does this also and I find it counter-intuitive.

yes, yes, yes... I'm aware of that!
Just that most shells also use "$" or "%" to indicate they're a variant of the Bourne or C-shell. So far (in the Linux universe) I've only found SuSE that uses ">" as a (default) prompt, which I is daft since:
- most shells have ">" as a secondary prompt, indicating there's more expected input (forgotten to close a quote, forced line continuation, etc)
- ">" doesn't show what syntax shell scripts would adhere to
Just looking at the fish website - there's no clue about the latter question, but I'm guessing it'll be bash-based (or support KSH93 syntax, I hope).
Footnote: the manual and FAQs suggest a bash-like syntax, give or take a few tweaks.

That's a legacy *nix thing, rather than a bash feature; Linux just followed suit and it's independent of whatever shell the root is assigned - usually some global profile will set PS1 accordingly for the root account.

And I can't get that sodding tune outta my head now.
I sincerely hope I don't hum it tomorrow at work. Especially with that lyric.

Re: fish shell
There are two fish shells.
The first is called 'fish', is old and kinda unmaintained. http://fishshell.com/
The second is known as 'fishfish', is based on 'fish', and is new and actively maintained. http://ridiculousfish.com/shell/
I use fishfish. Its "web-based" configurator kinda sucks. I've never used fish.

But it's net-compatible and scales well.
