Hi,
I've started to use FreeBSD recently, and so far I think I can ditch the alternatives! I didn't even want to install bash, but to try use the default shell instead, just for the kicks. There's a small issue with aliases though, and I'm sorry if this has already been ranted before.
Happens on FreeBSD-9.0 RELEASE, and 9.1-RC3 source seems the same. This is especially nasty after re-sourcing ~/.profile, or where ever you keep aliases, you will notice that all previously hashed aliases are now broken. Oddly there was fairly simple way of seemingly fix it, but I can't stop thinking that this would have been done unless it was just dumb :r So if anyone is interested to check it out, be my guest.

Code:
$alias ls='ls -G'
$alias
ls='ls -G'
$ls
...
$alias ls='ls -G'
$alias
ls='ls -'
$ls
ls -: command not found.
